Finish Line Grants were created to assist individuals with unforeseen emergency situations that could interfere with a student's ability to complete his/her training. Please explain the emergency/unforeseen hardship and how that emergency has impacted your ability to continue with your training. For example, you may detail how a recent job loss impacts your ability to pay for your month's rent. Please be as detailed as possible. (required)

Section D

Amount requested (up to $1,000) (required)

You'll be asked to submit documentation/proof of your financial emergency upon submission of this application. A representative from COA will request this once this application is received. For example, if you're requesting utilities assistance, an overdue notice is an example of documentation. If you're requesting assistance with a rental payment, a copy of your lease agreement is an example of documentation. If you're requesting transportation/gas assistance, a copy of your course schedule is an example of documentation. If a student is requesting technology assistance, a statement of need from the student and the student's instructors (instructors may email [email protected]). Students are encouraged to have this information ready so that their emergency situation can be dealt with in the quickest manner possible.

Provide your family’s household gross income for the past six months. This includes the gross income for members of the house in which you currently reside and this doesn't affect your eligibility for Finish Line Grant funding. (required)

I attest that the funding being requested through the Finish Line Grant isn't being covered by another source (ex: Department of Social Services) and that the unforeseen expense won't be a chronic financial problem as the Finish Line Funds aren't to be used as a consistent source of remedial funding.
