President's Student Emergency Fund
The President's Student Emergency Fund was created by the HCC Foundation, with President Christina Royal and through the generosity of alumni and friends, in order to assist students who encounter an unforeseen financial emergency that would prevent them from continuing their education. The Student Emergency Fund is intended to assist students so that they may continue their studies and successfully complete their coursework. Dollars are intended for unexpected emergency expenses. Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis based on the criteria listed below.
Students are strongly encouraged to connect with the Thrive Student Resource Center regarding their emergency prior to completing an application. Students can schedule time with Ben Ostiguy, Thrive Center Coordinator, using this link. The Thrive Center is located in Frost 236.
