Board Policy - Financial Assistance
¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Cortland Community College Board of Trustees recognizes that financial aid is an integral component of its educational offerings as it serves to reduce economic barriers that may restrict the educational development of students.
The College will seek to participate in federal and state student aid programs for which it may be qualified when the purposes and objectives of such programs are consistent with those of the College, provided that the commitment of required College resources is reasonable in the judgment of the College Administration. The terms of such financial aid will be determined by the legislation which created the fund and other government regulations.
The College will cooperate with outside agencies and organizations which furnish direct aid through scholarships and loans to students of their selection and will insure, as far as possible, that the agencies’ and organizations’ standards and objectives are observed. It is understood that the selection criteria used will be consistent with the general policies and procedures of the College.
The Board of Trustees of the College has authorized the establishment of the TC3 Foundation, Inc. for the purpose of providing support to ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Cortland Community College. Support may be in the form of scholarships, loans, and awards to benefit the students of the College. The administration of non-governmental scholarships, loans, student employment, and other aid programs will be in accord with the general policy of the College.
