Student Emergency Relief Grants

The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) application is closed. We have been able to provide HEERF (CARES) Grants since the beginning of the pandemic, but we are getting close to the end of this pandemic relief program. The remaining funds will be disbursed by prioritizing students who have the greatest need. Students do not need to apply and will be notified that they are eligible to receive a grant starting in February.

We encourage all students to make sure you have a plan to pay tuition and other living expenses. Be sure to complete the FAFSA and reach out Student Central if you need assistance completing your FAFSA.

In addition, the Student Advocacy and Financial Stability Team is committed to helping students connect to campus and community resources. You can find more information at Essential Needs | Columbus State Community College (cscc.edu)
