Office of Continuing Studies and Enhanced Learning Louise Guarnaccia Fund for Non-Traditional Students Grant Overview
The Louise Guarnaccia Fund for Non-Traditional Students assists female students over the age of twenty-five in meeting emergency financial needs that may disrupt their academic progression if unmet. The funding can be used towards modest tuition assistance, book/educational supplies, conference/educational event attendance, medical emergencies, and other unexpected financial obligations. As funding is limited (with exception, no more than $200 per student, depending on request), students will need to document how they will meet the balance of their need if it is more than the individual limit. There is no application deadline; applications are considered on a fundingas-needed basis and until the funding is depleted.
The funding is available from January 1, 2018- December 30, 2018. To be eligible for funding, a student must • Be a matriculated female student aged 25 or older with demonstrated financial need • Reside in Windham County • Be registered during the semester she is requesting a grant. If the student meets the above criteria, she must complete a grant application and include supportive documentation such as invoices, estimates, etc., from established businesses/institutions.
The application can be obtained from the Continuing Studies website at http://www.easternct.edu/ce/. In addition to completing the application, the student must also • Have filed a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form with Eastern Connecticut State University http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ or submit her most recent Federal Tax return with grant application • Submit a TYPED narrative of the description of her financial need, and how receiving a grant would help her in both meeting her immediate need and in her educational pursuits. Once a student submits an application, a committee will review the request and respond to the applicant within a week. For more information, or to refer eligible students, please contact:
