SNAP CAN

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Career Advancement Network

At Pima Community College, we are dedicated to connecting you to all the tools and resources you qualify for. If you are receiving SNAP benefits, the SNAP CAN program can help you increase your ability to complete college and secure a career that provides a living wage, supporting both you and your family's economic prosperity.

What is SNAP CAN?

The SNAP CAN program provides support services to assist you in navigating your career journey and offers financial resources so you can concentrate on achieving your goals. It can assist with expenses such as:

  • transportation,
  • test fees,
  • utilities, and more!

Importantly, receiving any of these benefits does not reduce the assistance available to other eligible learners. This program is designed to serve the needs of all qualifying individuals, ensuring that you can access the support without impacting others who also qualify.
