Why We Need Your Support
UW–Madison’s Emergency Student Support Program is an invaluable resource to help students during times of unforeseen hardship. This fund is designed to alleviate the types of financial emergencies that often derail students from continuing in school, for example:
- food insecurity
- emergency travel home
- sudden loss of income
- unexpected bills
Your gift to the Emergency Student Support Fund helps students who are financially vulnerable navigate challenging situations where monetary support may play a critical role in enabling them to continue their studies. Show our students you have their back when times are tough by making a gift to the Emergency Student Support Fund.
“The emergency grant has helped me stay enrolled in my courses, ensuring that I can continue making progress toward my degree despite facing unforeseen financial hardships. It has also demonstrated to me the support and care that my educational institution or other benefactors have for students like me, especially during times of crisis.”
