Emergency Loans

The emergency tuition and fee loan program statute was created by the state of Texas to enable colleges to set aside a portion of their tuition and fee revenue to loan to students who are not prepared to pay for their college tuition and fees.

SPC students may apply for the loan if they are unable to pay their tuition and fees for a semester, they are awarded loans only, and their first loan disbursement will be 30 days after the semester begins.

Eligible students are awarded based on first-come basis and funds availability.  The loan amount will pay for tuition and fees only.  Students must be enrolled in all classes for the semester before applying for the loan.  Additional loan funds will not be awarded for classes added or other additional costs after the original loan.

Students must repay the loan no later than 90 days after the loan credits the student's account.  The loan may be paid with other financial aid awards or personal funds.
