Are you a student experiencing a financial emergency that could result in you leaving MATC?
The MATC Student Emergency Assistance Grant program, formerly known as the MATC Dreamkeepers Emergency Financial Assistance Grant, provides financial help (usually less than $500) to students who are experiencing an unexpected, unlikely to reoccur event that has caused a financial strain and who have no other resources available.
The goal of this program is to provide support to keep students in school even when emergencies arise.
The amount of emergency funds is determined by your responses in the application. Students with exceptional needs are prioritized to receive maximum funding. Please note, this grant is awarded on a first-come first-served basis.
