Mississippi residents enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours this summer at East Mississippi Community College will receive $500 toward tuition assistance.
Current students and transfer students who reside in Mississippi and meet the minimum number of enrollment hours will be eligible to receive the assistance.
The tuition assistance ONLY option requires the student to be registered for a minimum of six hours during the summer term, which includes the Maymester term. An additional $100 discount for the June term and $100 discount for the July term for Scooba residence hall expenses is also available. The deadline to take advantage of this option is June 15.
Students need to simply apply for admissions and register for summer classes. A balance will be applied to the students’ LEO accounts after they register for summer classes. EMCC will credit the account back per the stipulations above.
The tuition assistance will be funded through federal Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds, or HEERF, which was established in March 2020 as part of the $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, approved by Congress.
Course fees still apply.
