Emergency Fund Request : Spartanburg Community College

Spartanburg Community College Emergency Fund

Students who find themselves in a difficult financial situation at SCC often seek monetary relief through the SCC Foundation (SCCF). Though SCCF does provide student support through scholarships, we do not have sufficient discretionary funds to meet all emergencies. However, based on specific hardship circumstances we will make every effort to assist a student with one-time emergency needs through a designated Foundation fund.

Must be experiencing a financial hardship resulting from an emergency, accident, natural disaster or other unexpected critical event.

Emergency Fund awards are up to $500. Effective for Fall Semester 2022 and moving forward.
