Sorry funds are depleted for this school year!  The fund should be available September 2025

  • significant uncovered medical/dental expense for necessary treatment
  • transportation issues
  • critical housing or utility expenses
  • other critical financial issues

Awards will be based on the cost of the financial need up to $300.00

Documentation of the cost is required.

Students may receive up to one award per academic year.
