Emergency Grants
SEAG and SSEH
General resources:
Resource Center of Spokane County (RCSC) has a goal to help the underserved members of our community achieve economic empowerment by increasing access to opportunities and restoring hope. This is done by providing access to a wide variety of agencies offering a diverse number of services, including housing, training, healthcare, and justice-involved services among other.
2-1-1 connects callers, at no cost, to critical health and human services in their community. If you are unable to find a service, please dial 2-1-1 for assistance. If you are outside of Washington State or having a problem using the 2-1-1 number, please call 1-877-211-9274.
Community Colleges of Spokane Foundation has the mission to support students. Each January applications for over 100 scholarships open with a select number becoming available again in August. There are also some limited emergency funds available through the CCS Foundation.
If you are in needs of food assistance:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, called Basic Food in Washington, helps people with low incomes make ends meet by providing monthly benefits to buy food. You can check if you are eligible for Basic Food and apply at WashingtonConnection.org. If you are receiving Basic Food, you may also qualify for BFET. Learn more about BFET.
For our students to succeed, we realize basic needs must first be met. The SCC Cares Food Pantry and Resource Center is here to assist students who need food and hygiene assistance, free of charge.
Tuition, books, or technology:
The SCC Workforce Transitions office has four grants through these grants we are able to offer hundreds of students assistance with tuition, books, fees, and other supports. You only need to complete one application to apply for all of these grants.
To see if you may be eligible for Workforce Transitions Support, please complete the electronic application for services.
