Student Outreach and Resource Center (SOAR)
The Student Outreach and Resource Center (SOAR) https://www.brcc.edu/services/support-programs/soar/ helps students with temporary financial assistance and helps connect students with appropriate BRCC and community resources to deal with issues outside the classroom. The SOAR Center’s resources are aimed at helping current BRCC students continue their education.
Services include:
- Connection to community resources to support student needs that extend beyond the academic environment.
- Temporary emergency financial assistance for BRCC students who meet defined eligibility requirements and demonstrate need through supporting documentation.
- The Student Success Center at Blue Ridge Community College assists students in achieving their educational and career goals. We provide tools and resources to support students overcome barriers to success.
- Single Stop is a national nonprofit organization that helps connect BRCC students to financial, medical, housing, food, and employment benefits and resources. The free, confidential screening tool only takes about 10 minutes to complete. A Student Success Advisor will follow-up with next steps. Click the green 'Let's get started' button to begin. Contact Wendy Smith at smithw@brcc.edu for more information.
- TimelyCare offers BRCC students access to 24/7 mental health and health coaching support. You will login using your BRCC/VCCS credentials.
