*The CARES Act is a federal program designed to help students affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. As a community that values diversity and inclusion as central to the mission of our College, DCC recognizes that this health crisis has disproportionally affected our immigrant students and their families. Therefore, we encourage students who do not qualify for CARES Emergency Grant Funds due to immigration status, to apply for funds available through the DCC Foundation. Please visit the DCC CARES page for more information.
