任务/意图
The Student Emergency Fund provides financial assistance to 澳门新葡京官方网站 (NDSCS) students who face sudden, unforeseen emergency or crisis situations. Funds are awarded in the form of gift cards to help alleviate short-term financial hardships. These gift cards are not intended to supplement existing financial aid and do not need to be paid back. The mission of this fund is to help students stay enrolled during a time of unexpected financial crisis.
标准
- 通常, students need be enrolled full-time at NDSCS (part-time students may still apply and could be awarded pending availability of funds).
- Students must be experiencing an unexpected financial hardship resulting from an emergency or crisis situation that threatens their ability to successfully complete the current semester.
- Students must demonstrate that they have exhausted all other possible financial resources before applying for student emergency funds, 比如学生贷款, 医疗补助计划, 个人理财账户, 欠你钱的人, 以及社区资源.
- Students must meet with a designated staff member prior to receiving emergency funds.
- Student’s current academic standing and behavioral conduct history will be taken into consideration.
量
- 500美元的最大
- Once/per student while enrolled at NDSCS
与工作人员跟进
Follow-up from a staff member will be done no later than 6 weeks after the funds have been distributed. This follow-up is to ensure the student is taking the proper steps to help alleviate any financial stress that remains after the emergency (a long-term action plan). Any additional guidance (non-monetary) the student needs will be given at this point.
