About the SSW Student Emergency Aid Fund
The School of Social Work (SSW) Student Emergency Aid Fund supports emergency expenses related to basic needs such as health, mental health, housing, food, and transportation for MSW students. This fund allows the SSW to provide temporary financial support to students facing unforeseen emergencies that could hinder students from achieving their educational goals.
Social work students are committed to removing barriers to success for others. Today, you can do the same for them.

This funding means I can finish my degree and that gives me the freedom to live independently while I take care of my children." - SSW Student Emergency Aid Fund Recipient
“It was really helpful to use this fund to visit my mom and my aunt, who has a chronic illness. It was important to know that I could still be a resource to my family. In the future I hope to give back.” - SSW Student Emergency Aid Fund Recipient
