Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College students who have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, who are in need of emergency assistance, and who meet eligibility criteria may apply for emergency grant assistance under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA). FDLTCC administration will determine whether funding is applicable under CRRSAA.  

CRRSAA emergency funding is a one-time emergency grant available each term of attendance and is dependent on funds available. CRRSAA applications may exceed the availability of funds. While funding cannot be guaranteed, we will continue to accept applications in the event additional funding becomes available.  

CRRSAA funds have been designated to address the pressing financial needs of students related specifically to the cost of attendance based on the disruption of campus operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These needs include areas such as food, housing, course materials, tuition/fees, technology, health care, transportation, and child-care. 

CRRSAA funds will be awarded to eligible students with the greatest need as identified through the application and documentation process. The funds are to be used expressly for the need(s) stated above.  

To complete the application process, you will need to submit documentation. Examples of relevant documentation includes: a billing statement, layoff or furlough notice, receipt for recent course materials or technology purchases, childcare expense, rent or mortgage statement, etc. in support of your application. You may want to find these documents prior to starting your application. Once your application is submitted, you will be contacted by a member of our staff.
