North Central State College has been awarded nearly $40,000 in Dash Grant funding. The grant is an emergency grant program to assist students by providing small emergency grants to remove economic barriers that stand in the way of completing their education.
Students may apply for small grants directly from their college when faced with an unexpected bill, such as a car repair or medical payment. Expenses are paid within 48 hours of the approved application.
Through its new Dash Emergency Grant Program, Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corporation is helping more colleges offer emergency grants to students who receive Federal Pell Grants.
NC State is one of 31 colleges in a four-state region to receive the Dash Grant funding.
