    Funding Assistance for Currently Enrolled Students

    John and Putsy Wardlaw Student Emergency Fund Request

Based on specific hardship circumstances and available funds (up to $500) we will make every effort to assist a student with one-time emergency needs through a designated Foundation fund.

    Sherry Vaughn Book Fund Request

    There are times when students find themselves in a difficult financial situation and seek monetary relief through the SCC Foundation (SCCF).  Over the years, SCC Foundation has raised private dollars to create a specific fund designated to assist students with the cost of textbooks that are purchased through the Book Inn, SCC campus bookstore in the amount up to 85% of total book cost, not to exceed $500.  

    If you are a SCC student who is requesting financial support to purchase textbooks, please complete the application form.
