Student Success Fund

Attention Students: The Student Success Fund is not currently available as the College shifts to a new application platform. You will receive communications about the new process once it has been implemented.

The Student Success Fund allows students to persist in their educational or professional journey by providing financial support (scholarships, emergency grants). This fund removes barriers for academically successful but financially challenged students to ensure they can complete their studies.

I am profoundly grateful for the invaluable support from the Student Success Fund. Being out of work for two years was a challenging period for me, but it has also opened doors to a new beginning. As a devoted mom of two beautiful children, the financial assistance has been a beacon of hope... making it possible for me to focus on my studies and professional development.
