Fleming College

Peterborough ON – (March 30, 2020) – As the COVID-19 outbreak rapidly evolves, Fleming College has created the COVID-19 Emergency Fund to support students in need of financial relief.

This fund will support a variety of student needs during this critical time, including access to equipment for online learning and alternative delivery format, transportation, food and rent. 

In the midst of this emergency, please consider donating to the COVID-19 Emergency Fund. With special thanks to Fleming’s generous donors, the fund has already secured $10,000, which will make a tremendous impact on the college community. All grant decisions from this fund will be made by Fleming’s Senior Leadership Team, who are at the front lines of this emergency and can best evaluate how to distribute funds to students in urgent need.
