Emergency Funding Program
Current Central Scholarship undergraduate, graduate, professional and career training recipients are eligible to take advantage of the Emergency Funding Program. It provides grants of up to $1,000 each to current recipients for immediate needs causing financial hardship, such as medical care, transportation to class, and loss of essential personal belongings due to fire, theft, or natural disaster. The purpose of this program is to ensure that students are not forced to drop out of school due to emergencies and unforeseen expenses. Current scholarship recipients who are interested in learning more please contact Kayla Bettenhauser.
