“Dear student emergency grant fund, words can’t express just how truly grateful I am, you have made a difference in my life and the lives of my children, thank you for helping me when I needed it the most.”
The Seth Nelsen Student Emergency Grant Fund assists students who experience a financial emergency or unanticipated expenses causing short-term financial hardship that requires immediate attention to keep a student in college. This program is designed to assist those who cannot reasonably resolve their financial difficulty through scholarships, loans or other Financial Aid awards. Most students receiving support have been able to remain enrolled!
