Bear Necessities

Are life's challenges preventing you from focusing on your education? 
Let us help you now, so you can focus on your future.


Making ends meet as a student can be tough. From fulfilling basic needs, such as food and shelter, to finding the path to long-term financial stability, PC students and families are never alone. While many campus and community resources are waiting to help, knowing where to start isn't always easy.

The Bear Necessities program coordinator can help you understand your eligibility for public benefits and connect you to personalized resources that meet your needs. We'll then assist you with applications to avoid delays. No challenge is too great, or too small, and our services are always free.
