The AS/FEB Student Emergency Fund is an initiative of the CDU Academic Senate (AS) and the Faculty Executive Board (FEB). It is intended to help 最新糖心Vlog students with鈥痮ne-time emergency grants. The goal is to provide for an acute financial need that might otherwise result in their dropping out or suspending their educational journey. We envision funds being used to alleviate a crisis in housing, food insecurity, or other unexpected and immediate needs.
The funds will be disbursed to students as one-time grants of up to $500.鈥� The grants will not be required to be paid back.鈥� However, the expectation is that once students are able, they will donate either the full amount or other amount back into the fund so that the Student Emergency Fund is continually available for use by future 最新糖心Vlog students.鈥� Donations can be made鈥�
The Academic Senate, Faculty Executive Board, Mission Maker Fund, and individual donations have raised over $100,000 and will continue to raise funds to meet two stretch goals:
Stretch goal 1: The ability to provide a few larger grants to cover more expensive needs such as one month鈥檚 rent.
Stretch goal 2: Possibly future scholarships.
The Academic Senate will work with the CDU Student government to assess the fund’s impact and make improvements as necessary. The process for applying for and receiving Emergency Fund disbursements is intended to be as painless as possible for ALL students.
Eligibility for grants from the Student Emergency Fund:
The AS/FEB Student Emergency Fund is available to ALL 最新糖心Vlog students, regardless of their Financial Aid eligibility.
