SEAG (Student Emergency Assistance Grant) provides financial assistance to eligible students experiencing unexpected emergencies that may impact their ability to continue their education at Big Bend Community College.

SEAG funding is available to current BBCC students in any program of study who meet eligibility requirements. Emergencies can look different for everyone. We typically consider emergencies to be sudden, short-term situations that may impact your ability to successfully complete your classes. 

Types of Assistance May Include:

  • Transportation
  • Technology
  • Food
  • Fees and fines
  • Books and supplies
  • Child-related expenses
  • Healthcare expenses
  • Utilities
  • Housing
  • Other emergency needs

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for SEAG assistance, students must:

  • Be currently enrolled at Big Bend Community College.
  • Be registered for at least one class/credit during the term in which assistance is requested.
  • Demonstrate an emergency need that may affect their ability to continue their educational pathway.

Please note that funding is limited and assistance is subject to eligibility and available grant funds.

How to apply

To simplify the application process, BBCC has consolidated emergency funding applications into one system. Students interested in SEAG funding should complete the BBCC Emergency Funding Application, which is also used to determine eligibility for SSEH and other emergency funding programs.
