ABOUT SUPPORT FUNDS
We understand the impact financial barriers can have on a student’s overall well-being. Student Care and Outreach (SCO) serves as the starting point for connecting students with individualized support and resources, which includes applying to available funding for emergency and/or temporary financial assistance.
Support funds are not intended for tuition and fees, but instead to address specific temporary circumstances students may be facing such as medical bills, replacement of essential personal belongings due to natural disaster, fire, theft, etc., car repairs, medications or other health-related costs, mental health care, rent, utilities or other essential household expenses.
Location: Student Care and Outreach Office, 318 Tate Student Center
Hours:Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. Online reports can be filled out any time of day and will be reviewed the next business day.
