CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Woodland Community College will be providing another round of COVID-19 Relief Grants to eligible students during the spring 2021 semester.
These grants will be made possible due to the approval of the Federal Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021.
The funds will be offered as direct cash payments to students to provide economic relief to be applied for expenses such as enrollment fees, food, housing, healthcare, technology and childcare.
Students who are enrolled in six or more units during the spring 2021 semester will be eligible for the additional aid.
The grant amounts will range from $300 to $550 and will be automatically disbursed in February.
The spring semester starts on Monday, Jan. 25.
The college offered a similar grant program last year from resources provided by the CARES Act.
With these new federal stimulus funds, the college also plans to expand its emergency grant program to support students experiencing hardships related to education and housing.
The application to access additional COVID-19 relief emergency funds will be available to students throughout the spring 2021 semester.
“Our students have had a difficult time continuing their education during the pandemic because of the extra pressures associated with distance education and the costs to access technology. These additional resources will help alleviate some of the obstacles and increase financial availability to our student body to help with their educational attainment” said Woodland Community College College President Dr. Art Pimentel.
Students should visit the college’s website at http://wcc.yccd.edu or call the financial aid office at 707-995-7923 for additional information.
