COVID-19 Faculty Resources
OEA Foundation Funds – Grants for Students
Any LCCEA member may apply for grants for their students through a quick request(link is external). These grants may be used directly for student expenses such as Chromebooks, textbooks, rent, utilities, or other basic needs. The maximum grant per student is usually $100, but faculty are encouraged to apply for up to $250 if the student needs a Chromebook.
OEA Relief Fund for Part-time Faculty
Part-time faculty who are members of OEA/LCCEA and who have experienced loss of pay or class cancellation for Spring may apply for up to $1000(link is external). Faculty must have been LCCEA/OEA members as of March 2, 2020 and must submit documentation of expenses (e.g. housing payment, food, childcare, medical, etc.) and documentation of lost income (e.g. email from dean about class cancellation or statement by faculty member certifying they had a class cancelled).
LCCEA Emergency Fund for LCCEA Members
LCCEA members (part-time or full-time) with a financial need, which could be due a class cancellation, unanticipated medical expense, etc., may request up to $300 for emergency expenses(link is external). If you have questions about your membership status, please contact Membership Chair, Wendy Simmons(link sends e-mail).
Cards for Colleagues
