Eagle Relief

Eagle Relief

Eagle Relief Fund is a monetary aid that students experiencing unexpected financial hardship may apply for. This request will be reviewed by a committee that examines the need and availability of funds. This fund can only be awarded once a year (based off the date of award) to a maximum of $250.

Students who have been approved will complete a case plan with the Case Manager in order to develop financial independence.

Minimum Qualifications* for Eagle Relief:

• Minimum Cumulative TSC 2.0 GPA
• Taking at least 9 credit hours in the semester you are applying for relief in
• Be a degree-seeking student at TSC
• Be in good standing with the Code of Conduct
• Providing supporting documentation
  • This must be a past due bill with your name, due date, and amount due on it. If the amount is significantly over what the ERF is able to provide ($250.00 max), please include documentation as to how the remainder will be paid and/or how the maximum award will assist. For example, if this assistance would prevent a utility shutoff, you would need to provide documentation showing that the funds would help keep your services active.

*Please note that meeting the minimum qualifications does not guarantee the committee will approve your application.

Decisions will be reached based on the following criteria:

1. Meeting the minimum qualifications.
2. The availability of funds.
3. The degree to which the unexpected financial hardship is affecting the student's ability to stay enrolled at TSC.
4. The ability of the student to articulate a long-term, sustainable financial plan with the funds.
5. The amount of Financial Aid that has been awarded in the semester in which you are seeking the relief.

Instructions:

1. Complete and sign all sections of this form: The Eagle Relief Fund is now closed for the Spring semester.
2. Attach any supporting documentation explaining circumstances (i.e. medical bills, auto repair estimate, etc.) All documentation will be verified for authenticity.
3. Submit the completed form by signing the document - you will continue to get email reminders about this from DocuSign until it is completed. The committee will not be able to view your application until it is 100% complete with the signing.
