“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."
-Student grant recipient
Sometimes life throws unexpected challenges that can derail a student's dreams. The Seth Nelsen Student Emergency Grant Fund understands this reality and provides a lifeline for students facing financial hardships that could otherwise force them to leave college.
Imagine a student working hard to be the first in their family to pursue higher education, balancing part-time work, classes, and family responsibilities. A sudden car repair, medical bill, or unexpected expense could mean the difference between continuing their education or being forced to drop out. The Seth Nelsen Student Emergency Grant Fund steps in at exactly these critical moments, offering immediate support that keeps students on their path to success.
This program is more than just financial assistance – it's about preserving potential. When students receive help through this fund, they can focus on what matters most: their education, their future, and their dreams. Most students who receive support are able to stay enrolled, continuing their journey toward graduation and making a difference in our community.
Your gift can be a game-changer. Whether it's $25 to help a student get to class, $100 to cover medical bills, or $500 to prevent an eviction, every contribution matters. These aren't just dollars – they're opportunities. Opportunities for students to overcome obstacles, pursue their education, and transform their lives and our community.
We invite you to be part of something powerful. Your generosity can help a student stay in school, pursue their dreams, and create a brighter future for themselves and our region. Together, we can ensure that financial challenges don't become roadblocks to education.
Thank you for believing in our students and their unlimited potential.
