Am I eligible?
You are eligible if you are enrolled or registered in the current or next semester.

What kind of assistance is available?
Our services and assistance are free and customized to the student's needs and requests. We will review with you any immediate and pressing needs that could potentially stop or otherwise negatively affect you from completing your academic goals. Financial awards will be determined on a “first come/first serve” basis and approval of additional requests from a student within the same semester are not guaranteed. In order to enable us to assist as many students as possible, we reserve the right to limit financial assistance to once per student per semester. Financial awards do not have to be repaid.
