The Student Emergency Fund provides immediate, one-time, short-term financial assistance to students facing unexpected hardships that threaten their ability to continue their education. These emergencies may include medical expenses, food instability, or essential travel needs due to family crises.

HOW YOUR SUPPORT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Gifts to the Student Emergency Fund provides critical, immediate assistance to students facing unexpected financial hardships. Your generosity helps students remain enrolled and on track during their most difficult times. Whether it’s covering the cost of an emergency trip home to care for a sick loved one, managing sudden medical expenses, or repairing a vehicle essential for commuting to an internship, your support removes barriers when students need it most.

When my mom passed away, I was faced with one of the most difficult moments of my life. The emergency fund provided not only financial relief to get home, but also a sense of reassurance that I was not alone. Knowing that my college community was there to support me allowed me to focus on my education and healing during such a challenging time. This truly shows the power of compassion and community, and I am deeply grateful for the way it empowers students to keep moving forward, even in the face of hardship.
