STAR Center - Student Assistance and Resources

• We facilitate the application for emergency assistance funding from the Greenville Tech Foundation. 
• We offer a welcoming space for students to shop for groceries and essential needs at the Caring Corner, GTC’s food pantry.
• When available, we distribute gas gift cards (one per month), Miracle Hill gift cards and bus passes.
• Beyond the college, we connect students to community and government resources for assistance with rent, utilities, etc.
