  • Need Help with Textbooks?

    The Sherry Vaughn Textbook Fund is Here to Help.

     

    There are times when students find themselves in a difficult financial situation and seek emergency monetary relief through the SCC Foundation (SCCF).  Over the years, SCC Foundation has raised private dollars to create a specific fund designated to assist students with the cost of textbooks that are purchased through Chaser's Bark Shop. 


    Before you apply for assistance:

    • FAFSA submission is required.
    • Applicants must have applied for all other assistance, including loans.
    • Applicants must show proof of financial hardship which has been created by events beyond their control.
    • Applicants may not have a past due balance with the College.
    • Applicants must provide both a detailed explanation and proof of why the funds are needed; I don’t have money is not enough.
    • The SCC Foundation will cover 85% of the total cost; the student is responsible for the additional 15% and should be prepared to pay the balance at the time of purchase.


    Requirements for this fund:

    • 2.0 GPA or higher required.
    • Applicant must have completed 6 or more credit hours at SCC and be currently enrolled in 6 or more credit hours.
    • The maximum award is $500.
    • This fund may only be awarded once per calendar year.


    The following circumstances are NOT considered acceptable reasons to apply:

    • Need help paying college tuition or fees
    • Need help with past due debts to college, including old student loans
    • Childcare costs (please contact the AIM Center for these resources)

    • Any Non-Essential or Entertainment related monthly fees including but not limited to; cable, streaming services, online gaming subscriptions, and internet service (to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis)
    • A life event from more than 1 month ago, except for events which have prevented the applicant from working since they occurred
    • Day to day expenses such including but not limited to; rent, car payments, phone bills, and electric bills, unless they are past due because of an event beyond the applicant’s control
