ComArtSci Student Emergency Fund

Spartans work hard to earn their college degree, relying on a combination of student loans, savings and part-time jobs to afford higher education. When adversity strikes, they may not have the resources to weather the storm. The goal of the Student Emergency Fund is to answer a dire need for students. The fund is used to help with unexpected needs and fees that impact the ability to focus on being a student.

Despite all the efforts made to ensure student academic success, sometimes situations arise which create a financial roadblock for student achievement. Small things, like funding the final two-credit course for graduation, make a huge difference. ComArtSci is focused on providing students with that “little extra” they need to ensure their educational experience is seamless.

This project will help to grow our fund that students can utilize when they encounter minor financial adversity. This fund provides support for those small but critical needs our students have such as textbooks, class credits, and unforeseen expenses that may create a barrier to academic success.

Supporting students with the tools and resources they need to be successful is life changing. When students can’t afford their final credits or housing costs, or other unforeseen expenses that puts their graduation in jeopardy, we will use the funds to ensure their career trajectory is not demolished.
