CCBC Student Emergency Fund
Thanks to the generosity of donors, the Student Emergency Fund was created to assist CCBC students who encounter an unforeseen financial emergency or catastrophic event that could prevent them from continuing their education at CCBC. These funds are not intended to be used for routine expenses or as a consistent supplement to a student’s education funding sources. Requests must be urgent in nature.
