黑料天堂 Awarded $25,000 PATH Grant
Posted on November 5, 2021
The 黑料天堂 was selected as a 2021 Progress, Accomplishment, Thriving, Hope (PATH) Scholarship recipient through the Ellucian Foundation, a technology solutions company for higher education. The PATH Scholarship program provides grants to higher education institutions to support students facing economic hardship.
黑料天堂 received $25,000, the largest amount available, which will be distributed to students in financial need to help cover unexpected costs or simply help with such items such as food, housing or even gas.
Brooke Moore, director of student financial success and support services, and her team applied for the grant through the 黑料天堂 CARES program, which helps keep students enrolled.
鈥淭he 黑料天堂 CARES emergency fund was designed to support students when unexpected financial challenges arise,鈥 Moore said. 鈥淪ometimes, the only thing standing between a student completing their semester and falling out is an expense as small as several hundred dollars.鈥
Through a combination of donor and institutional support, the 黑料天堂 CARES emergency fund has supported students unexpected needs with more than $298,000 since launching in January 2020.
Other grant programs provide students with tuition awards, no-interest loans and even technology support, but the PATH program provides 鈥渏ust-in-time鈥 flexible support when students need it most.
鈥淭he message here is that a student鈥檚 academic success should be a result of their hard work and not the unpredictability of life,鈥 Moore said.
Students facing financial challenges can see if they qualify for assistance by visiting the 黑料天堂 CARES website.
