Facing Financial Barriers, even after financial aid?

Corning Community College is committed to supporting current SUNY Corning Community College students facing barriers to participation in their educational journey. To address these challenges, the College has established the Transformation Emergency Fund Grant to support students experiencing barriers to participation in courses they are registered for. The funds will be used for transportation costs (i.e. gas cards, bus passes, minor vehicle repairs, etc.) food, child care expenses beyond the local subsidy, and internet.

The Emergency Fund is intended to provide short-term relief for students experiencing financial hardship. Emergency fund amounts vary based on individual needs; in most cases, the amount does not exceed $500 in one semester. Students can only apply for the emergency fund up to two times per semester and receive no more than $600 within the calendar year (2025).
