Faith Chao Staff Reporter Nov 08, 2021

The Winter Quarter COVID-19 Financial Relief Fund applications are scheduled to open Nov. 8 at 8 a.m. 

Students who have had financial hardship due to COVID-19 and are enrolled in Winter Quarter 2022 can apply for the Winter Quarter relief fund. 

Each eligible student may receive a maximum of $1,000 for winter and may use the funds to pay for tuition and fees, books and course materials, food, rent, childcare, health care, or other educational needs. 

The funds are a one-time grant that does not need to be paid back and will not reduce a student’s financial aid. 

To fill out the application, students will need their basic information such as name, ctcLink student ID, and contact information. A Social Security number is not needed to apply for the application. 

Eligibility requirements include being enrolled for Winter Quarter 2022 and demonstrating the need for funds due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Applications will be open until March 25 at 5 p.m. or until funds are exhausted.
