HEERF III Funding
Zane State College has received funding from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) III.

Enrollment in Fall Semester 2021 qualifies post high school students for this funding. There is NO APPLICATION necessary. Students will receive a single disbursement:
Amount: Determined by credit hours and federal aid need calculation. Please refer to your 11/1/21 ZSC email for your allocated amount.

Disclosure for Financial Aid Recipients
In accordance with the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 requirements for Higher Education Emergency Relief Funding, the Zane State College Financial Aid Office is informing students of the following:
Changes to Your Family’s Financial Situation
If you or your family’s financial situation has changed significantly from what is reflected on your 2019 federal income tax return (for example, if you’ve lost a job or otherwise experienced a drop in income), you may be eligible to have your financial aid adjusted. To be considered you must complete the 21-22 FAFSA questions as instructed on the application (including the transfer of tax return and income information), submit your FAFSA form, then contact the school you plan to attend to discuss how your current financial situation has changed. Note that the school’s decision is final and cannot be appealed to the U.S. Department of Education.
If you have questions about this legislation or wish to have your information reviewed, please contact the Zane State College Financial Aid Office.
COVID-19 Information for ZSC Campus & Community
Zane State College is taking necessary COVID-19 precautions to ensure we provide a healthy environment for our students, employees, and visitors. We have been working closely with the Zanesville – Muskingum County Health Department to understand the evolving quarantine guidelines.
As a public institution of higher education, we serve all members of our community and recognize that vaccinations and mask wearing can be deeply personal matters. We ask that employees, students, and visitors take responsibility for their own health and help protect others. The best way to do so is through vaccination, social distancing, hand washing, and wearing a mask. Zane State College does not require its employees or students to report their vaccination status.
As a reminder, Zane State College has numerous support services to help students succeed. Please reach out to your program advisors, student coaches, or the tutoring department for anything that may make your fall semester successful.
Students, employees, and visitors may continue to stay healthy by:
Consider getting a vaccination.
The CDC recommends vaccinations as the number one preventative measure against getting COVID.
Monitor changes in your health.
If you are not feeling well, stay at home and contact your healthcare provider. Changes in your health should not be ignored.
