Emergency Assistance Program

The Emergency Assistance Program is funded by the Foundation for Grossmont & Cuyamaca Colleges and our local community partners and donors, whose mission is to assist our students in times of unexpected need to ensure that they can stay enrolled and ultimately meet their education goals.

The Emergency Assistance Program is designed to help students who have experienced unexpected financial hardships during an academic semester that could derail their academic progress.

 

The program is supported through contributions from various community organizations and individual donors in the greater East County and San Diego areas. It is for this reason that 小优传媒 or Cuyamaca College may assist students referred to the Emergency Assistance Program, with non-recurring financial emergencies, that will allow students to remain in school.

 

Approved requests may be limited due to available funding. It is important that requests be specific and detailed when answering the application questions and for students to provide all possible documentation to assist in the verification of your emergency expense.
