In January 2021, Congress released the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act through the Consolidated Appropriations which provided additional stimulus funding for institutions of higher education and their students. Due to this new legislation, TCTC is able to provide immediate assistance to individuals and families suffering economic hardships as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Colleges and universities are required to use ARP Act funds to provide grants to students for expenses related to the disruptions to their education due to COVID-19, including things like tuition, fees, course materials and technology, as well as food, housing, health care, and childcare.
The ARP Act anticipated funding was applied to eligible student accounts for the Fall 2021 term. The timing and quick action of TCTC employees, to be able to award these funds, shows the caring and responsive nature the college has in supporting its students and the community. We care about our students and the community’s current financial situation and are sensitive to their needs. The use of funds in this way will allow current students to continue their education and incoming students to attend when they otherwise would not be able to afford to continue their education.
