Reminder – CARES Act Grant Funds Available to Post-Secondary Students in Certain Programs
LCCTC students in certain post-secondary programs are eligible to receive grant funds from the CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund. Details of the grant, the programs that are eligible, and a link to the grant application is available at the link below. Students who receive grant funds can use them for food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and child care. This grant is time-sensitive, so be sure to apply soon.
UPDATE – October 5, 2020 – The LCCTC has reached our limit regarding this grant and it will no longer be awarded.
Financial Planning Sessions
Are you concerned about how you are going to be able to afford the cost of your education? Do you have questions about how student accounts and billing processes work? Do you need more information about financial aid and what you are eligible to apply for? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then we urge you to attend one of our online Financial Planning Sessions to get the information you need. Join us at our next online financial planning session to learn the answers to these questions and more!
Mental Health Resources
We are seeing a rise in inquiries from students and families regarding stress, anxiety, and depression related to the pandemic and the social changes that society is experiencing because of it. The CTC has links to helpful mental health and wellbeing resources on our Covid-19 Resource webpage and on the counselors’ page on Canvas. If you feel that you need help, please reach out to your campus counselors or check out the online resources. Don’t think that you’re alone! Help is here if you need it.
If you have any questions about your program at the LCCTC, please ask your instructor.
Thank you and be safe.
