Possible expenses that can be considered for emergency aid assistance include:

• Food security
• Emergency medical/dental costs
• Emergency/temporary housing and living expenses
• Family emergencies
• Natural disasters

This list is not all-inclusive. If the reason you are seeking assistance is not listed, please make an appointment with the Student Support & Outreach team.

Expenses not covered:

• Tuition, student fees, and study-abroad costs
• Technology
• Regular anticipated fixed expenses
• Parking tickets
• Non-emergency travel
• Other non-essential or anticipated expenses

Students may only receive funding once per semester.
