Barrier-Removal Grant

GCC was awarded a grant through MILEAP to provide emergency aid funding and other direct support to students aimed at removing life barriers such as but not limited to:

    • Childcare
    • Transportation
    • Housing and bills
    • Food
    • Costs for textbooks, internet, or other program supplies

A student may be granted a one-time support amount up to $500. Our goal is to help as many students as possible with the funds we received throughout the duration of the grant. There is a limited amount of grant funds issued each semester, this means that all requests may not be fully awarded. Gas cards, bus passes, and grocery gift cards will be available. This grant also supports our GCC food pantry which is available and free to students.
