Good Samaritan Grant
A resource for students experiencing unanticipated financial roadblocks that can impact degree completion and well-being.
The Good Samaritan Grant was established through generous contributions from the community and private donors. The grant is not a loan and does not need to be repaid.
In the past, we have assisted students who were victims of apartment fires, thefts and various other unexpected loss of income where short term help was needed for basic items, including food. Thanks to the Good Samaritan Grant, we now have an important resource to help students who have nowhere else to turn in times of extraordinary need.
