MADISON, Wis. Some Madison College students will have the opportunity to receive a new federal grant to provide emergency assistance during the pandemic.
According to a news release Wednesday, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act offers up to $750 in emergency funding for degree students who have “exceptional” financial needs.
“The need to support our students is more prevalent than ever,” said Keyimani Alford, Madison College’s Dean of Student Access and Success. “They are struggling to pay rent, buy food, pay for childcare and keep up with utilities because of job loss. The college knows this and has dedicated $8.6 million in emergency aid for the next year to help students with financial challenges.”
