草榴社区 Emergency Scholarship

The 草榴社区 Emergency Scholarship is a one-time resource available through the Financial Aid Office that helps address the immediate and unexpected needs of students. After submitting an application and following review by a committee with more than 10 departments currently represented from across campus, students are able to seek assistance throughout the school year.

A student's financial aid, academic history, and own personal testimony are considered once their request is under review. The committee, in addition to awarding scholarship funds, works to connect students with resources that can help them succeed both in and out of the classroom, whatever their situation may be.

Applicants are asked to have completed a FAFSA, give a personal statement describing their situation, and submit any documents they feel may shed light in order for us to have a better understanding of their request. The committee reviews applications once a week, and looks to maintain communication with a student if additional information is required to make their decision. 

The application can be found on the Financial Aid Office's webpage, and please feel free to share with students that you feel could use some additional support to help see their educational goals through.
