Education Student Emergency Fund
The College of Education's Student Emergency Fund is intended to support students who face unexpected hardships that have an immediate impact on their personal and/or academic wellbeing such as job loss or unstable housing. The fund is designated to offset short-term financial need. Emergency funds are automatically applied to the tuition account balance and typically do not exceed $2,000.
The Emergency Fund is not intended to replace or supplement financial aid, nor can it be used for conference travel or relocation expenses. Students are encouraged to seek out all other possibilities, including submitting a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and applying for scholarships annually to maximize opportunities for support. Additional information is available on our Financial aid and scholarships page.
All enrolled students with a major in the College of Education are eligible to apply for emergency funds. Students must be in good academic standing and provide a written statement detailing hardship and request for support. Funding requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with decisions usually made within 10 business days.
