Are you a Columbus State student in need of financial assistance? We want to help!

Columbus State knows students can experience a variety of unexpected situations impacting financial stability which may jeopardize their enrollment and academic success. This is especially true during the current Coronavirus National Emergency.

Eligible students may apply for the Student Emergency Relief Grant to assist with emergency financial needs related to any component of the cost of attendance and/or temporary costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as: tuition, food, housing, physical and/or mental health, and child care. Columbus State has access to funding through the Federal Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF). Assistance will be provided in accordance with college policy and guidance from the U.S. Department of Education. This guidance prioritizes financial need as a criterion governing funds disbursement.

Grants will be provided for eligible students while funds remain available. Completing an application does not guarantee you will receive a grant. All applications for students who meet the criteria will be reviewed, but not all requests may be filled or may be partially filled.
