Financial Aid offers students help in meeting new tech requirements
New technology requirements are in place for Seward County Community College students. Financial Aid has a way to help.
August 31, 2020
Seward County Community College has a new technology requirement this semester as many classes are taught hybrid style (half online and half in-person). Students must have a computer that is able to run canvas and zoom. (See specs here)
In response to the new requirements, the financial aid office issued this letter:
Hello SCCC Student!
Congratulations on making it through the first 2 weeks of campus classes!
This Fall SCCC implemented a new minimum technology requirement. We would like to make you aware of possible financial assistance for this new requirement if you are having troubles funding such a purchase.

- Be enrolled and attending at least one “seated” (not fully online) course at the time funds are disbursed
- Be enrolled in a Title IV eligible program/degree
- Must be meeting SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress) guidelines at the time funds are disbursed

- Have repaid Title IV loan amounts in excess of annual or aggregate limits if obtained inadvertently
- Not have fraudulently received Title IV loans in excess of annual or aggregate limits

If you meet all of these requirements and would like to request HEERF funds to aid in the purchase/reimbursement of the technology requirement, please complete a request form via the following steps:
