Owens Community College promotes the achievement of our students. We understand that to build success in the classroom, a student must maintain, as much as possible, stability in their life outside of school. However, in rare occasions, short-term personal financial matters may arise that could possibly prevent our students from being successful.
The Student Emergency Assistance Fund of Excellence helps students experiencing sudden financial hardships preventing them from being successful in their academic endeavors. This program is made available to degree or certificate seeking students who are in academic good standing, have encountered an unexpected financial hardship, and are in need of assistance with books and supplies through the Owens bookstore, or with non-educational related expenses, such as, mortgage, utilities, personal automobile expenses, public transportation, medical bills, and child care.
If these programs and initiatives inspire you and you want to make sure that students always have access to this type of support, please make a donation today.
