Student Emergency Assistance Fund
Emergency situations or unexpected circumstances can leave students with financial difficulties that affect their personal and academic lives. The Student Emergency Assistance Fund provides temporary and immediate financial assistance to registered FHSU students who have demonstrated an urgent need in which they have exhausted all other forms of financial assistance. Students may only receive emergency funds once per academic year, and may expect to receive a gift of approximately $100 or less if approved. All student information will remain confidential throughout this process. Students in need of emergency funds should contact Health and Wellness Services.
