Emergency Funding

Graduate Student Aid Fund

The Graduate Student Aid Fund has been established to assist a limited number of graduate students with University fees such as the Campus Health Service Fee and Cardinal Care Insurance when those fees cause a significant hardship. Students who demonstrate need will be eligible for small amounts to cover specific charges.  For more detailed information and application procedures please refer to the Graduate Student Aid Fund (PDF) instructions and application form.

Emergency Grant-In-Aid Funds

Emergency Grant-in-Aid Funds assist graduate students who experience a financial emergency or unanticipated expenses (e.g., medical, dental, or legal) causing financial hardship. This program is designed to assist those who cannot reasonably resolve their financial difficulty through fellowships or loans.  For more detailed information and application procedures please refer to the Emergency Grant-In-Aid (PDF) instructions and application form.
