Emergency Financial Aid Grant

The Emergency Financial Aid Grant is for students with exceptional need still experiencing impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Students with a documented COVID related hardship are also eligible to apply.

Daytona State College has received funds under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) signed on December 27, 2020 to assist some of our students still being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, unlike the CARES Act there are new eligibility requirements.

Protecting Yourself, Prevention and Treatment

The virus is spread mainly from person-to-person:

• Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
• Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Symptoms range from mild to serious and include fever, cough and difficulty breathing. If you are experiencing a fever, cough and/or difficulty breathing, contact a healthcare professional to determine whether testing or treatment is needed.

Here are some tips from the CDC to reduce your chances of becoming ill:

• Get vaccinated! Everyone 12 years of age and older is now recommended to get a COVID-19 vaccination. Get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can. Widespread vaccination is a critical tool to help stop the pandemic. Search vaccines.gov, text your ZIP code to 438829 or call 1-800-232-0233 to find locations near you. 
• Wash your hands frequently to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.
• Masks are required in all DSC classrooms. Masks are optional in other indoor and outdoor spaces. 
• Practice social distancing - 3 ft. distance in DSC classrooms (while also wearing a face mask). 
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home if you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue away.
• Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces.
• If you are experiencing a fever, cough and/or difficulty breathing, contact a healthcare professional to determine whether testing or treatment is needed.

More details on COVID-19 are available at the CDC.
