Mental Health Emergency Grants for Students

Circumstances that impact a students’ mental health can prevent students from achieving academic success and even continuing their education. Please let students know that the University offers short-term funds to students experiencing a situation that is negatively impacting their mental and emotional well-being.

The mental health emergency grants for students provide temporary financial support for situations or circumstances which are beyond the student’s control, such as a death in the family, accident, loss of property, loss of income, or the need for mental health services in which they cannot afford.
