COCC Student Relief Fund: emergency and child-care assistance request: how to apply
Application guidance reviewed 2026-10-18. Published process; current funding balance, application acceptance and any award must be confirmed with the college.
Start here: Log in to Bobcat Portal, then Student > Financial Aid and Funding > Financial Aid. Review current criteria and submit the applicable emergency or child-care request with supporting evidence.
How to apply: full steps and checklist
1. Is this for me?
Generally degree/certificate-seeking COCC students enrolled in at least 6 credits with completed FAFSA/ORSAA and satisfactory academic progress. OSU dual-admit students are excluded. Ask the office about any narrow degree-completion exception.
Service area: Oregon; confirm program-specific location and institution requirements.
2. What should I prepare?
Some documents may be conditional. Ask about alternatives. Checkmarks are temporary and are not saved or sent.
3. Where and how do I submit?
Log in to Bobcat Portal, then Student > Financial Aid and Funding > Financial Aid. Review current criteria and submit the applicable emergency or child-care request with supporting evidence.
Timing: The source states complete applications submitted by Sunday midnight are considered for review the following week; confirm the current term process.
4. What will it cost?
No application-fee requirement is stated in the retained fund overview. This is a restricted assistance route; the provider determines allowable expenses, award amount and available funding.
5. What happens after I submit?
Monitor your college email and application account for requests, the decision and any distribution instructions. A request does not establish approval, an award amount or a disbursement date. The source describes weekly committee review and a college-email decision; confirm the current term schedule.
6. What if something goes wrong?
Contact the administering college team about missing evidence, enrollment/academic eligibility or an expense excluded by the fund. Ask about other support routes if this fund is closed or does not fit the need.
Language, disability and offline help
Ask the college about language, disability and online-application assistance or an alternative way to complete the request; specific accommodations need confirmation.
Funding is limited and not offered in summer. Credit load, need, allowable expense and child-care caps affect awards. Most already-paid expenses, credit-card debt and loans are generally excluded; child-care treatment differs. Preparation prompts do not replace the complete current institutional requirements.
