GEER

Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Scholarship Program

The Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Scholarship Program was established to support community college impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. GEER provides scholarships to eligible workforce continuing education students pursuing high-demand workforce training programs within ten workforce pathways leading to a State or industry-recognized credential.

The scholarship will be based on student need, local industry needs, number of eligible students, and cost of course, up to a maximum award of either $750 per course or the cost of the course fee(s) if the fee(s) exceed $750. The scholarships help cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, supplies, credentialing tests, transportation, childcare and other components of the total cost of attendance.

Recipients of this scholarship must be a resident of North Carolina and must be enrolled in one of the 96+ hour VGCC Workforce Continuing Education Programs listed below.
