Student Assistance Fund

The Student Assistance Fund is designed to offset short-term financial needs for students experiencing specific setbacks that may prevent them from continuing their education at Bristol Community College. Funds are limited to Bristol students who are currently enrolled in classes at the time of the referral and who are in good standing with the College. All requests for funding must be submitted by the student via the Student Assistance Fund Request form.
