The Washington COVID-19 Immigrant Relief Fund is for immigrants experiencing hard times because of COVID-19. If you aren't eligible for federal financial relief or unemployment insurance, this fund is for you. You may receive a $1,000 one-time direct payment. Apply by May 15.

The Edmonds College Foundation Emergency Assistance Program is available for currently enrolled students who are experiencing an unforeseen financial difficulty that has occurred in the last 30 days, is beyond their control, and could prevent them from continuing their education. Funding can be used to pay for housing, utilities, food, transportation, and health care. The maximum award available is $500.

The Student Emergency Assistance Grant (SEAG) is open to currently enrolled students who have experienced a sudden, urgent, or unexpected financial difficulty that impacts their ability to complete the quarter.
