Loans

Under certain circumstances the Roc Edu Fund may grant loans for educational purposes, particularly when an applicant does not meet the requirements for a grant.

Grant & Loan Requirements

We believe in women helping women.

  • Applicants must be women who reside in Monroe, Genesee, Livingston, Ontario, Orleans or Wayne counties of New York State.
  • Applicants must have been accepted into or currently enrolled in a university or college degree granting education program or a non-degree post-secondary program leading to a certificate or educational accreditation granted by a college, university or other educational institution licensed by the New York State Department of Education.
  • The grant or loan may be used only for the purpose of assisting the student in the continuation of her education.

Specifically designed for urgent, smaller-scale financial needs, this grant is ideal for covering immediate emergency expenses. Please note that these grants are awarded in smaller amounts compared to the comprehensive ROC EDU Grant. For more substantial financial support, we invite you to apply for the ROC EDU Grant  through our full application process. Our aim is to empower your educational journey so that financial barriers do not hold you back.
