Brief update regarding the wraparound grants for Reconnect and Futures for Frontliners students. GRCC was initially awarded a total of $571,669.26 to provide grants of up to $550 to eligible students in these two programs.
The funds were meant to be awarded by the end of the 2022-2023 year. Despite outreach each semester, we were not able to award the funds by that date. We applied for, and received, an extension to continue to award these funds. I am happy to say that as of 10/11/23, we have gotten all of those funds into the hands of our students.
Since many of you have directed students to me to see if they are eligible for the funds, I felt it was important to let you know there are no remaining funds.
