[Wsssc] FY24 Student Emergency Assistance Grants (SEAG) Program Application Release

[Lauren Hibbs]

Hello,

This serves as official notification of the FY24 Student Emergency Assistant Grant (SEAG) grant release, today, April 13, 2023.

It is important to note we have streamlined the grant process. There is no requirement for current SEAG funded colleges to submit grant materials to OGMS. However, current SEAG funded colleges are required to submit an Intent Email, to Deana Rader, drader at sbctc.edu<mailto:drader at sbctc.edu> SEAG Program Administrator, describing the college's intent to administer the FY24 SEAG grant, serve SEAG students and a plan to prioritize SEAG fund disbursement. In addition to the college SEAG application Intent Email, applicants must also submit a college signed Assurances Document and a Budget Form attached to the Intent Email.

All current SEAG funded colleges are eligible to submit an application for the FY24 SEAG grant. Colleges may apply for up to $172,200 and previously approved districts may apply for up to $344,400.

Colleges applying for this funding opportunity must demonstrate need, which may include demographic data on student income levels, students experiencing homelessness or food insecurity, and other results from basic needs assessments. College applicants must adhere to the following grant requirements:

  *   ensure students' access to emergency aid funds will be as low barrier as possible;
  *   allow flexibility in who may apply for funds and include students who may not necessarily meet the definition of "financial need" but who may be experiencing emergency situations;
  *   and indicate how the college will prioritize the disbursement of emergency aid funds.

There are 9 categories of SEAG Student Need and Common Allowable Expenses which funds may be expended under the Student Grants budget category: Housing, Food, Books (& Supplies), Childcare, Fees and Fines, Healthcare, Utilities, Technology and Transportation.

SEAG funded colleges are responsible for submitting quarterly reports to the SEAG Program Administrator. Quarterly report deadlines are found in the FY24 SEAG Program Guidelines (attached to this announcement).

This application includes:

  *   FY24 Student Emergency Assistance Grant Assurances Document  (attached to this email)
  *   FY24 Student Emergency Assistance Grant Budget Form (attached to this email)
  *   FY24 Student Emergency Assistance Grant Intent Email to include a brief paragraph which describes the intent of your program and how you will prioritize disbursement of funds.
