Summer 2024

The EvCC Eats application for Summer Quarter will be open from July 1-14, 2024. Summer Quarter approval is valid for July and August cards, as long as you continue to meet the eligibility requirements (listed below).

For Summer Quarter 2024, EvCC Eats will be able to approve up to 100 students. If we receive more than 100 eligible applications, all eligible applications will be assigned a number and randomly selected for approval. If EvCC Eats receives fewer than 100 eligible applications by the July 14th application deadline, the application will remain open until 100 students are approved.

Decision emails will be sent to all applicants who apply within the July 1-14th application window by 6 pm on July 15th. If your application is approved, this email will include instructions for picking up your cards. If the application remains open after July 14th, decision emails will be sent by the next business day.

Your academic success is important. If your grades are being affected by a financial emergency and you are considering dropping classes, our Student Emergency Assistance Funds may be able to help. We define an emergency as a sudden or unexpected situation which creates financial stress and affects your ability to continue your college education. Homelessness is always considered an emergency, no matter how long you have been homeless.

You may request funds as many times as needed if you experience more than one emergency. We have multiple sources of funding, including SEAG (Student Emergency Assistance Grant), SSEH (Supporting Students Experiencing Homelessness), the Everett Community College Foundation, and generous community sponsors such as NW+Credit Union. Each of these funding sources have different rules and eligibility requirements - there is no guarantee that we will be able to provide assistance for every emergency you experience.

Eligible expenses include but are not limited to: gas money, bus fares, car repairs, rent assistance, short-term emergency housing (hotel stays), security deposits, child-related expenses, groceries, health-related expenses, utilities, books and school supplies, technology, testing fees, laundry vouchers…and more!

To request funds, please fill out the Request Form.

After completing the request form, please check your email often. We will email you about your request and whether we need any additional documentation.

The majority of Student Emergency Assistance Funds do not need to be paid back. Some students may be funded through the Emergency Book Loan program, and those funds need to be paid back before the end of the quarter. Some emergency assistance funds will be reported to the Financial Aid Office and may affect need when calculating financial aid eligibility and awards.
