Even though we have awarded all emergency grants, it is still beneficial for students to complete the request form. Once received, we share other information with the students (Food Pantry, MDHHS, Technology Loans, etc.). In addition, requests are reviewed and students are connected to appropriate resources (OSP, DSS, Counseling, MDHHS, Financial Aid, etc.).
As a reminder, our emergency grants are funded by an endowed fund and donations. If you are interested in supporting, you can make a one-time, or recurring, donation online. Select "Student Emergency Fund" as your designation.
