Student & Alumni Emergency Fund

A fund by the community for the community

We know how a sudden, unforeseen, and immediate financial hardships can disrupt a student’s or recent graduate’s personal and professional stability. Struggling to pay rent, buy food, or cover medical expenses causes physical and emotional harm.
