Emergency Grants

This program provides short-term, temporary financial assistance to currently enrolled students who are facing unexpected, sudden financial hardships that threaten their ability to stay in school and complete their education. Eligible situations include sudden job loss, medical emergencies, car accidents, or disaster damage. The funds are intended to cover emergency expenses and cannot be used to pay for tuition. Applications open each quarter on a specific schedule and are reviewed by a committee on a rolling basis. Priority is given to students who have not received emergency funding in the previous year, and there is a lifetime limit of two awards per student, with exceptions made on a case-by-case basis for four-year bachelor's degree students or rare circumstances.
