Emergency funding provides currently enrolled GRC students with the chance to apply for financial assistance to alleviate or minimize an unforeseen financial barrier. Funding is intended to address an expense to support persistence and completion and is reserved for students who experience unexpected expenses only. Requests are not generally granted for regular, ongoing expenses such as rent and utilities.
Green River defines an emergency as an unavoidable, unexpected, and unplanned expense that creates financial hardship and affects your ability to continue your education at Green River.
Submitting an emergency funding request does not guarantee funding. Your request may be funded by the Foundation, or you may be referred to another resource on campus. The amount awarded and frequency of funding are subject to change due to fluctuations in donor-raised dollars.
The following requests will be denied:
- Non-emergency rent requests
- Non-emergency utility requests
- Includes electric, wifi, cell, water, sewage, garbage
- Repeated books and materials request
- Tuition
- Class fees
- Supplemental income
- Clothing
- Gas for everyday driving
- Requests for reimbursement
- Credit card bills
- Past debt
- Student loan payments
- Traffic violations
- Child support
Emergency funding is not a sustainable resource and cannot provide ongoing support for students and their families. Please contact the additional resources on campus to explore further support.
