Benefits Access/Project GO!

Cuyahoga Community College has partnered with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS), United Way 2-1-1 Greater Cleveland and the Greater Cleveland Food Bank to break down barriers to college completion.

Benefits Access/Project Go! provides free services to assist qualifying Tri-C students with additional resources that can ease financial challenges. The program also seeks ways to help eliminate barriers toward achieving an education by providing assistance with food assistance, housing assistance, child care, utility assistance and health care needs.

Project Go! representatives are available to discuss various resources and connect you with Tri-C programs and community organizations that can provide direct assistance. We can also assist with the completion of benefits applications through benefits.ohio.gov.  To find out more about the Benefits Access/Project Go! program, contact the Student Financial Aid and Scholarships office at 216-987-6000, Option 2 or email projectgo@tri-c.edu.
