We hope that adjusting the tuition for students from Puerto Rico will help mitigate their losses and inconvenience, and allow them to pursue or continue their programs of study.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As an institution that serves primarily local and in-state students, DSC records show only a handful who list their permanent residence in Puerto Rico, said Dick Pastor, vice president of enrollment services.<\/p>\n<p>The college also is assisting Florida students affected by Hurricane Irma.<\/p>\n<p>Over two dozen in-state students sustained damage or were displaced from their homes due to the storm, according to Vice President of Student Development Keith Kennedy. \u201cWe\u2019ve been reaching out to these students as well,\u201d he said. \u201cFaculty are offering them grace periods for turning in assignments and referring the students to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Center for Women and Men is providing books, uniforms, vouchers for laundry services, everything that can be done for each student based on his or her individual needs or circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For assistance with the in-state tuition offer, DSC students and future students whose permanent residence is in Puerto Rico should contact Isabel Candelas at 506-3062 or<a href=\"mailto:%20Isabel.Candelas@DaytonaState.edu\"> Isabel.Candelas@DaytonaState.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Local students impacted by Irma can contact Kennedy at 506-3562 or<a href=\"mailto:%20Keith.Kennedy@DaytonaState.edu\"> Keith.Kennedy@DaytonaState.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daytona State College is now offering students from Puerto Rico, whose families are recovering from Hurricane Maria, in-state tuition for the academic year.
