Emergency Assistance Fund

At Savannah Technical College (STC) we realize that an emergency can happen at any time. The college has created a one-time financial assistance fund for currently enrolled students who experience unexpected, unforeseen, and/or unavoidable emergency expenses that directly impact or jeopardize continued enrollment at the college. Funding is limited and awarded amounts will vary as it depends on students’ individual financial need.

A student with an immediate need must complete an Emergency Assistance Fund (EAF) form and provide documentation to Ms. Wendi Gowans, STC Student Navigator. Currently only a paper application is available.

The fund is intended to address specific temporary circumstances students may be facing such as:

  • Short of Tuition total
  • college or course fees
  • Textbook and/or code purchase
  • Uniform
  • Short of Program kit (COSM, WELD, etc.) total
  • Gas
  • Food

 Participant Criteria:

  • Currently enrolled students
  • Should be in good academic standing (2.0 GPA or higher)
  • Complete an Emergency Assistance Fund (EAF) Form
  • Submit information and/or documentation (with the EAF application) explaining how the need constitutes an emergency
  • Provide any supporting documentation to prove the need (i.e. quote/estimate, voided receipts, bills, lease, etc.) to wgowan@savannahtech.edu.
  • Should have not received financial assistance from the Emergency Assistance Fund within the past academic year.


*Dual Enrollment students are not eligible for this fund.
**It may take 72-96 hours for an application to be processed once it is received into Ms. Gowans’ office.
