What to expect

Log into your My Tri-C Space and go to your Student Dashboard. Find the link to your financial aid dashboard. Look for the Myers Emergency Fund Application - it is usually in the first box. Fill it out and you will get an email saying it was done. The college will say yes or no within 5 business days. If approved, the money will go into your account within 3 business days. For tuition, it goes straight to your tuition bill. For other expenses, it goes to your Tri-C account and gets refunded to you the normal way - direct deposit, check, or school card. You can apply once per award year. If you do not see the application, you may need to change the Aid Year to apply for a different semester.
