<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The FY 25 funding application for Student Emergency Assistance Grant (SEAG) programs will open March 25<sup>th</sup>. Participating colleges provide low-barrier, monetary
assistance to students experiencing unforeseen emergencies or situations that affect the student’s ability to attend classes. Currently funded SEAG programs are eligible to apply for FY25 program funds. Based on appropriated funds, the maximum grant amount
for FY25 is $172,000 (or $172,000 per college in district applications representing multiple colleges). Application materials will be sent to program staff via Canvas on March 25<sup>th</sup> and are due May 1, 2024. Additional copies of application materials
and the full announcement are available by request to <a href="mailto:cmcmullin@sbctc.edu">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The funding application for Supporting Students Experiencing Homelessness programs opened March 20<sup>th</sup>. Participating colleges provide housing support, other basic
needs accommodations, and case management to students experiencing homelessness, at imminent risk of homelessness, and those who aged out of foster care. Active SSEH FY24 programs, including the four SSEH Planning Grant programs, are eligible to apply for
program funds. Based on the appropriation associated with the passage of ESSB 5702 in 2023, the maximum grant amount per college for FY25 is $115,000, or the equivalent per college amount for district applications representing multiple colleges. This represents
a reduction in maximum per college program funding of $15,000 for continuing programs compared to more recent years. Application materials were sent to program staff via Canvas and are due May 1, 2024. Additional copies of application materials and the full
announcement are available by request to <a href="mailto:lcoghlan@sbctc.edu">lcoghlan@sbctc.edu</a> for those who are not members of the SSEH Canvas community. The two colleges who are not yet participating in SSEH will be encouraged to apply for a FY25 Planning

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">We are excited to invite you to a special webinar showcasing
<b><i>Program Pathway Mapper</i></b>, a powerful tool designed to support your Guided Pathways work to keep students on their path. Program Pathways Mapper (PPM) allows students to easily find a course of study with the corresponding course requirements and
career data while also assisting colleges with system-level data cleanup, and implementation of Guided Pathways. Once students select a program pathway, PPM connects the Community Colleges with the 4-year Universities so that students can view a map of intersegmental
curricular pathways, easily transfer between those segments, and reduce excess units taken on the path to the degree or program completion. This tool allows students to visualize a clear pathway to education opportunities and speed their entry into the workforce.
