Student Emergency Fund

When Life Gets in the way, We have your back.

The CCC Summer Bridge Program is designed to give first-time Native American and low-income freshman students a strong, supported start before their first full semester. It is free! CCC covers tuition and books. It’s one of the best ways to get ahead before fall classes begin.

What is the student emergency fund?

The CCC Student Emergency Support Fund provides short-term financial assistance to currently enrolled CCC students who are facing unexpected, non-tuition expenses that threaten their ability to stay in school. The fund is made possible through the generosity of donors to the CCC .

What Can The Fund Help With?

Emergency funds are intended for immediate, non-tuition needs, including:

  • Rent or utilities
  • Transportation and car repairs
  • Childcare or dependent care
  • Groceries and basic necessities
  • Medical or dental expenses
  • Other unexpected emergencies that directly impact your ability to attend classes

How much Assistance is available?

Students may apply for up to $500 per academic year. Awards are based on demonstrated need and fund availability.

Note: The Emergency Fund Is Not a Loan

Emergency fund awards do not need to be repaid. They are one-time grants made possible by CCC Foundation donors who believe in keeping students on track.
