Graduate Student Emergency Fund

The Graduate Student Emergency Fund is available to our graduate students thanks to the generous support of our donors who want to support students through financially challenging circumstances. Funding is limited, and priority consideration is given to students who have taken full advantage of other aid options available. This fund is considered one-time emergency assistance.

Applications are made via Scholarship Retriever.  Award amounts will be determined based on the amount in the fund and the number of requests received. In past years, awards of $50-$100 have been made.  Applications will be reviewed quarterly by a committee. Please note, we are not offering funding at this time to assist in costs for tuition and fees. The Stay Black and Gold Fund can support tuition and fees.
