The Dean of Students has Emergency funds that provide financial support to current students when they need assistance with unexpected, unforeseen, and unavoidable emergency expenses surrounding housing.
Details:
Currently enrolled students may apply for funds when they have exhausted all other financial resources (student loans, personal resources, and payment plans). This funding is not intended to reimburse for expenses that have already been paid, or to replace or supplement existing financial aid. If emergency funds are granted, they do not have to be repaid.
Eligibility:
- Applicants must have an immediate financial hardship resulting from an emergency, accident, or other unexpected critical incident.
- The expense must be unexpected, unforeseen, and the urgent nature unavoidable.
- Applicants must be currently enrolled in Services for Undocumented Students
- All other resources, including student loans through Financial Aid must have been considered and are insufficient, unavailable, or not available in a timely manner
How to apply:
Applicants must submit an application for emergency funding on the Dean of Students website and complete all questions in full and submit supporting documentation.
