Emergency Assistance Program
The Emergency Assistance program is coordinated by the Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs and is funded through the Ogeechee Technical College Foundation, Inc. This program allows students with an emergent need to have a needs assessment completed. If the assessment’s outcome supports the students need, the Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs will determine what will best help the student. Emergency Assistance is designed for students with a temporary financial need, i.e. money for gas, electric bills, food, etc. Assistance is not guaranteed and funds are limited.
Students may contact the Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs at 912.486.7607 or visit the office located in the Joseph E. Kennedy Building, Office 198C.
Lending Library Program
The Lending Library provides textbooks and course supplies to students who have exhausted their financial aid and need additional assistance. Students may submit an application to the Lending Library for textbooks or course supplies that are available. Students who are approved and issued a textbook will be required to return the book at the end of the term. The textbook will be loaned to the student at no charge, unless it is lost or damaged.
The Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs manages the Lending Library and evaluates the applications based on academic and financial criteria. This service is funded through the Ogeechee Technical College Foundation, Inc. and the Student Leadership Council. This program provides support to students with a financial need and allows them to continue with their studies when they otherwise could not because they could not afford the appropriate textbooks.
