CCC Funding Resources and Support
Life happens. Sometimes an expense comes up that prevents you from staying in school or continuing momentum to reach your educational goals. CCC is here to help!
The Coordinated Student Resource Team (CSRT) represents a group of CCC employees who are knowledgeable about various campus resources that students might benefit from. Rather than reaching out to multiple departments, students can fill out this one Student Resource Request form. After reviewing this form, a member of CSRT will contact you for a one-on-one consultation to discuss the various resources and benefits that are available and connect you with the appropriate supports. Contact us at [email protected] with any questions.

CCC provides support to student veterans.
