Student Emergency Fund
Emergency funds have been donated by friends of the College as well as employees, their families, and others who are interested in helping students succeed. When funding is available, grants are provided to meet one-time unforeseen emergencies that would otherwise prevent students from continuing their education at Jackson College.
Use of funds is dependent on the following:
-
Student must demonstrate that emergency support is directly tied to their ability to remain in college Student must be enrolled at JC at the time of application for support.
-
Student must be enrolled at JC at the time of application for support.
-
Student is required to file an online request for funds, or a JC staff member can do this on behalf of the student.
Please note that:
- Funds will not be made available for regular or normal educational expenses, such as tuition and past due balances, but can assist with the fees for setting up a payment plan.
- If approved, checks will be made payable to the company or organization owed when possible and when it does not violate FERPA, if student permission is granted. Supporting documents (invoices, quotes, etc.) must be presented with application.
In order to be eligible, students must be able to answer “yes” to the following questions:
