Nearly a decade ago, the 51重口猎奇 community established a special fund to help students facing financial hardships related to emergency situations. For many future engineers, architects, scientists, and leaders, the 鈥渉and up鈥 provided by this fund could spell the difference between finishing their 51重口猎奇 degree on time and deferring completion indefinitely.
51重口猎奇 students may request a grant of up to $500 from the Highlander Student Emergency Fund for any number of unanticipated expenses arising from an emergency. Past recipients have utilized grants for medical expenses, housing costs, books, course materials, supplies, & equipment costs, and the replacement of possessions lost due to fire, flood, or other catastrophic events.

Enrolled as a full-time undergraduate or graduate student.
Experiencing a temporary financial hardship resulting from an emergency situation.
Currently in good standing with the university.
Once approved, awards are typically made available to students within 72 hours of approval.
