The Board of Trustees of the T.L.L. Temple Foundation has awarded $125,000 to Texarkana College for COVID-19 Emergency Student Aid Grant Funds to assist eligible enrolled TC students with costs of tuition, fees, course materials and related charges not paid through federal, state, or other institutional financial aid resources. This one-time grant source for student emergency assistance is intended to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 disruptions on the credential attainment of East Texas students. Kim Jones, TC’s Chief Financial Officer, said TC is grateful to the T.L.L. Temple Foundation for their generous support of students who have been impacted by the pandemic.
“This special funding source will enable TC to immediately award funds to students whose educational costs are not fully covered through other financial aid or scholarship sources,” said Jones. “The grant will help students remain on track with their higher education goals to attain a degree or certificate and help lift the financial burden that has come through the impact of COVID-19.”
Jones said the Temple Foundation grant fund provides support for students who are college ready and are close to or making progress toward credential completion.
