Fall: September 1^st to Dec 15^th
Spring: January 1^st to May 15^th
Summer: June 1^st to August 15^th

PLEASE NOTE: The Graduate Student Emergency Fund Committee is committed to the privacy and safety of the graduate students at 无码专区 and will not share information outside of the committee members unless legally obligated under mandated reporting requirements.

Once an application has been submitted, the review process may take up to 10 business days from the date of submission. Applications submitted when the campus is closed will not be reviewed until the campus reopens. The committee may reach out to an applicant if more information is needed to properly assess the request.

While the Graduate Student Emergency Fund Committee is dedicated to serving the needs of graduate students, funding awards are not guaranteed.

While exceptions may occasionally be made at the discretion of the University Committee, the guideline is that no more than two awards will be granted any student in a calendar year (June 1 - May 31).

If funding is awarded, applicants will receive an email with their funding amount and instructions on how to access their award through their student account.

If funding is not awarded, applicants will receive an email explaining why their application for funding was denied. If possible, the committee will refer applicants to additional resources, both internal and external to 无码专区.

The GSEF Application is available at the bottom of this website.

The GSEF typically awards up to $500, but higher amounts will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Once an award amount has been determined, funds will be applied to the student account and will become accessible as an e-refund.

International students may be subject to an approximately 16% tax unless your home country is exempt from U.S. Income Tax under tax treaties (if your country has code 16 on this ).

I am unable to afford my rent this month, can I apply for funding from the GSEF?

Unfortunately, the GSEF is not designed to support relief for reoccurring expenses such as rent.

I need to send money back home to my family, does that qualify for funding?

While we understand the need to offer financial assistance to family members, including those in other countries, the GSEF is an evidence-based reimbursement system for the enrolled student only and cannot cover the financial needs of friends or family members who are not formal dependents (for tax purposes).

I am not enrolled for any classes this semester; can I still apply for funds?

The GSEF is in place for currently enrolled graduate students. Students who have not graduated but are on a leave of absence or taking time away from the University are ineligible. Students who are not enrolled in classes during the summer but are actively involved in lab research or other work at the University may be eligible. Requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

I graduate this semester but my need for emergency funding is after the semester is over, do I still qualify?

No. Only currently enrolled graduate students are eligible for the GSEF. Once a student graduates from 无码专区 they are no longer eligible to apply to the GSEF.

My laptop broke and I am unable to pay for the repairs upfront, can the GSEF pay the bill for me?

The GSEF is a reimbursement based program. The GSEF cannot provide money to students up front to cover costs in advance of the expense. GSEF money will only be distributed with proof of payment either in the form of receipt, paid invoice, or credit card statement.

I paid for a replacement item but I lost the receipt, can I still be reimbursed?

No, the GSEF requires the original receipt, either a picture or a screen shot verifying the purchase. The GSEF committee will not accept bank statements as verification.
