Emergency Aid Request
Student Emergency Relief Grants
The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) application is closed. We have
been able to provide HEERF (CARES) Grants since the beginning of the pandemic, but
we are getting close to the end of this pandemic relief program. The remaining funds
will be disbursed by prioritizing students who have the greatest need. Students do
not need to apply and will be notified that they are eligible to receive a grant starting
in February.
We encourage all students to make sure you have a plan to pay tuition and other living
expenses. Be sure to complete the FAFSA and reach out Student Central if you need assistance completing your FAFSA.
In addition, the Student Advocacy and Financial Stability Team is committed to helping
students connect to campus and community resources. You can find more information
