We recognize the importance of having access to all required course materials for academic success.
Academic supply funding will vary and be awarded on a case-by-case basis for up to a maximum of $250 per academic year. Once approved, students must purchase academic course materials through the College Bookstore.
This funding is made possible through the generous support of Auxiliary Services.
