Student Emergency Fund

The Student Emergency Fund can help you with unanticipated financial emergencies caused by:
- Housing and living expenses
- Car repairs or transportation issues
- Childcare
- Family emergencies
- Natural disasters
- Unanticipated loss of employment
- Food Insecurities
How to Apply?
Students can submit their request by completing the online form:
If approved, funds will be distributed to the business where the bill is due and not directly to the student.
