HEERF Grant

Rhodes State knows students can experience a variety of unexpected situations impacting financial stability which may jeopardize their enrollment and academic success. This is especially true during the current Coronavirus National Emergency. To offset some of these financial strains, Rhodes State College has established a Student Emergency Grant.

Students will only be permitted to submit one request per semester.

Funds may be used for:

• Food
• Tuition
• Housing
• Technology
• Health Care (including mental health care)
• Child Care
• Course Materials (included Textbooks)

In order to qualify, a student must be enrolled in at least 1 class for the current semester, have not received an emergency grant for the current semester, and cannot be enrolled through the College Credit Plus Program.

Rhodes State College is offering 50 free gym memberships to non-CCP students for the Webb Fitness Center right here on campus! The memberships are awarded on a first come, first serve basis. In order to get a membership, go to the front desk in front of the gym at The Webb.
