As we continue to adjust to impacts from the global coronavirus pandemic, our campus community is coming together to support students with the Buffs Together campaign. Find out about available support and resources below.

Student Emergency Fund

The Student Emergency Fund provides direct financial assistance to students who have lost wages so they can pay bills, secure remote-learning technology, and access to food and health care.

Emergency funding is provided in the form of a one-time grant, which does not need to be repaid. The value of the grant will be based on the needs of each student, but typically does not exceed $500. Learn more about how to apply to the Student Emergency Fund.
