Fulbright College Dean's Emergency Retention Fund
This emergency fund is intended to provide primarily immediate, one-time stopgap funding to help retain undergraduate students who would otherwise be unable to continue their education.
Preference will be given to those who are close to but would otherwise not be able to graduate because of extreme financial hardship.
This form is intended to help the college identify, prioritize needs and fund students as available funding allows, which will also help us be able to respond to students’ individual emergency needs as quickly as possible.
