As a student of PCC, if you incurred expenses or hardships related to the coronavirus, we may be able to help! This not only includes needs such as a technology to participate in the remote learning versions of your classes, or improvements in internet service, but also if you are struggling due to the disruption to pay rent, buy food, pay for childcare, pay for transportation, and/or pay for related healthcare (including mental healthcare) expenses.
If you are struggling to pay any educational expenses or would like assistance taking classes in an upcoming semester, we can help with those too.
The PCC CARES Act II Emergency Grant can help meet your needs. Please access the ‘Live Chat’ Chat function in the lower right hand corner of the PCC website. Enter your information and then select ‘CARE Grant Relief’ for the department. You will be connected with a Student Success Coach that will assist you in completing an application.
If approved, funds will be released as soon as possible through your refund preference set up through BankMobile. The CARES II funding available to PCC is limited and the funding available to PCC students will be distributed as soon as possible while the funds last.
