South Louisiana Community College is currently finalizing the list of students that meet all eligibility requirements as outlined above. We want to carefully review all students to make sure that everyone that is eligible receives the funds. We appreciate your patience.

Currently, there is nothing for you to do. If you are eligible to receive funds, we will communicate directly with you through email.
