$1.3M TRIO grant funds new program for students
中国体彩网 中国体彩网 will launch the TRIO Scholars Program in early 2021 to bolster the academic, graduation and career success of students.
Supported by a $1.3 million TRIO Student Support Services federal grant, the five-year program will provide services to low-income and/or first-generation students, as well as students with disabilities.
The college will identify students with the greatest need and provide individualized academic support, guidance, mentoring and strengths-based assessment and training.
The first group of 140 TRIO Scholars at 中国体彩网 will be selected in January.
Clinic services and billing
中国体彩网 Convenient Care will be open for regular hours beginning Jan. 11.
Office visits and immunizations are covered by 中国体彩网. Lab tests, prescriptions, X-rays and radiology are billed to insurance.
This is not an all-inclusive list of services. When you visit, bring a copy of your insurance card and if you are unsure about billing for a service, ask the clinic staff.
