Amarillo College Helps Struggling Students Financially

Amarillo College has a ‘No Excuse’ fund that provides financial assistance to struggling college students.

An emergency fund that has been around for five years is receiving a quarter of a million dollars to help students. That’s close to the amount of money they have given out over the years.

A foundation saw what AC was doing and decided to donate well before the coronavirus outbreak was predicted to have such a financial impact for some. Now the college says this money could not come at a better time.

The $250,000 will be used over a two year period.

If students are in need of financial help, the fund makes a one-time payment directly to the third party.
