Assistance for Commuter Students
Students who commute across county lines for classes and/or clinicals might be eligible for a monthly stipend. To be considered, students must complete the MC Perkins Grant Assistance Application and provide their current class schedule as well as a Financial Aid Award Letter, if they have one.
Textbook and laptop loans
Students in CTE programs can qualify to borrow textbooks and laptops by filling out the MC Perkins Grant Assistance Application and provide their current class schedule as well as a Financial Aid Award Letter, if they have one.
Both textbooks and laptops are available on a limited basis, and students must return all borrowed materials on time (typically at the end of each semester). Failure to return items might result in the student being charged for the missing or damaged items.
