Apply for Emergency Funds

NOTE: Emergency funds are given in amounts between $250-500, in which a small amount of funds makes a huge difference for a student staying in school and completing their Fullerton College (FC) education. Full-time FC students are eligible for up to $500. Part-time FC students are eligible for up to $250. Awards to a student are given only once/year. Emergency funds can generally be processed to students within 5-10 business days. Sometimes, for larger issues, we can help in other ways, like wrap-around services for food, shelter, transportation, and other larger needs. Therefore, feel free to tell us whatever the need is, and we can try to help solve the issue, even if we don’t have funds available for that particular need. Remember, that the point of these grants is to keep students enrolled and moving toward success. Emergency grants cannot be requested to pay student debt.

Faculty/Staff MUST make the application on behalf of a student. Funds are limited. Be confident it is an emergency and verify the situation and student information before nominating a student. Use the form to the right or send a detailed description to our email with (either not both):

  • Faculty/staff name and position

  • Student’s name

  • Student Banner ID Number

  • Student contact information

  • Program at FC

  • Specific amount needed

  • Will this be a grant to you or are you requesting a loan you will repay within a year?

  • And a detailed description of the need, including:

    • Situation (Need)

    • How this funding will help you stay on (or get back on) track (stay enrolled and moving toward success)

    • The timeline for the grant (Timeline to fix the need)

    • And how the funds would be used.

    • Anything the faculty/staff member may want to add as an affidavit to strengthen the proposal
