Emergency Aid Application

The Shasta College Financial Aid Office will accept applications for emergency aid, funded by Federal COVID stimulus funds. 

The eligibility criteria for these funds are that a student must be enrolled in at least 3 units. These grants appear on a student's 2022-23 Financial Aid award letter/My Awards as "COV2S". Students who were automatically awarded emergency aid funds for this semester are not eligible to apply at this time.

Applications will be reviewed weekly and students will receive confirmation of their application, and notification when their application has been reviewed.
