There are four types of funds that MCCCD Foundation support students with hardship though :
The Emergency Fund was established to help students in need across our District so that they can focus on their education and not their financial situation. Donating to Emergency Funds helps students pay for rent, electricity, food, public transportation and so much more during times of hardship.
The Food Assistance Fund allows our students to focus on completing their classwork versus focusing on where they are going to get their next meal. These efforts are critical to the academic success for many of our students.
The Greatest Needs Fund benefits all students by providing immediate and flexible funding for urgent needs to support programs and initiatives that benefit all ten of the Maricopa Community Colleges. This core source of financing allows our colleges to address gaps that may be prohibiting our students from obtaining educational opportunities available to them. These needs may be due to a lack of resources across a broad range of circumstances, including urgent technology needs.
The Scholarship Fund provides the opportunity for our students to pay for tuition, books and other academic fees in order to fulfill their educational journeys at all ten Maricopa Community Colleges.
