The Student Emergency Fund
The Student Emergency Fund was established in 2017. The WCC Foundation administers
the fund, which helps students meet unanticipated expenses, especially those that
jeopardize their ability to stay in school.
The Student Emergency Fund is supported by generous donations to the WCC Foundation,
and grants are determined by a Foundation committee. Since establishing this fund
in 2017, the Foundation has provided essential emergency grants to students.
Gifts, donations, and grants from friends, companies, and foundations who share in
our critical mission provide support for the fund.
The Foundation is committed to providing students with one-time emergency assistance
to help them overcome unexpected financial emergencies and remain in school for the
semester or perhaps to the completion of their degrees or certificate.
This greatly improves their chances of securing higher-paying employment, gaining
confidence, and achieving greater things in their lives.
