Stronger Together - Student Emergency Fund

An unexpected financial challenge like a car repair, illness or loss of a job is catastrophic and can disrupt a student’s education, causing them to delay their degree or drop out completely.

The Stronger Together Fund helps students facing unexpected challenges get the assistance they need to stay in school and graduate. Financial support is especially needed for students who find themselves in an emergency that impacts their health, safety or wellbeing. Types of emergency resources provided to students include funding to cover hospitalization, utilities payments, medication/prescription expenses, replacement of belongings lost in a fire or natural disaster, safety-related needs, transportation assistance, and more.  

Student Affairs is also seeking support for the UTEP Food Pantry and First-Generation Student Support. Click the buttons below to learn more:
