Lastly, I want to encourage you to consider supporting our Panther Pact student emergency funds. Approximately 61% of our credit students receive some form of assistance, whether through Pell grants, food support, emergency funding, or other basic needs resources. One of our most successful services has been our emergency assistance program, which allows us to provide students with up to $500 once per year to help address basic needs such as medical expenses, car repairs, utility bills, rent, or childcare costs. Each request is carefully vetted before funds are awarded. A recent report showed that this program has been highly effective: only 3% of students who receive assistance withdraw, which is below our overall campus average.
As a campus, we spend between $45,000 and $50,000 per year on emergency assistance. With that in mind, we could use your help. Please consider helping us replenish this important fund. The program is funded entirely through donations, and any support you can provide would be extremely helpful. Please visit the link below. Under “Gift Designation,” please select “LSC-Houston North President’s Support Fund—Panther Pact.” This fund allows us to continue supporting students when they need emergency assistance most.
