Just weeks ago we launched the UC Student Emergency Fund, which has raised more than $200,000. But more importantly, we have already received over 800 applications for support and have been able to help hundreds of students in need. In most applications, students are requesting emergency support to pay rent, utility bills, and food.
UC has taken decisive measures to ensure everyone’s health and safety amid the COVID-19 outbreak, including canceling in-person classes, and closing university and dining facilities for the rest of the semester.
These closures affect each of our 46,000-plus students, and we’re grateful that so many can return home to be with their families. However, these closures could have far-reaching effects on others, as some of our students are now facing extenuating circumstances related to housing, food and other vital resources.
Your gift to the UC Student Emergency Fund provides currently enrolled students with the financial assistance they need, in these times when they need it most.
