Designed to assist students who have an emergency financial need that impacts their ability to remain in classes, students who have filed for and are eligible to receive a state or federal grants, scholarships or student loan are eligible to utilize FDLTCC’s emergency loan program. In most instances, to be eligible, students must have a source of income coming in during the same semester of the loan request to pay off the balance.
