Student Emergency Assistance Grant (SEAG) Program
The Student Emergency Assistance Grant (SEAG) Program provides funding for colleges to assist students experiencing unforeseen emergencies or situations that affect the student's ability to attend classes.
Competitive applications will:
- Demonstrate student need
- Ensure access to assistance is as low-barrier as possible
- Be inclusive of all students regardless of whether they meet the traditional definition of “needy student”
- Indicate how they will prioritize disbursement
Additional requirements are detailed in the grant guidelines below.
SEAG listserv emails will be transitioning to the Workforce Student Supports Canvas Community on August 1, 2020. Contact Katelynn Orellana at korellana@sbctc.edu to join Canvas and get involved in conversations with your peers at other colleges. The Workforce Student Supports Canvas Community is also your one-stop shop for program resources!
