Student Emergency Funds
Student Emergency Funds are available for currently enrolled students (graduate and undergraduate) experiencing financial emergencies (housing, food, health care, materials required for classes in the current online instruction environment...) related to the current COVID-19 situation. These Emergency Funds can only be accessed if you have exhausted all financial aid resources and are available thanks to generous donations from donors.
