What's The Student Emergency Fund?
The Office of Alumni & Development established a fund in March, 2020 for alumni to contribute funds to support students who faced unexpected situations and hardship. The fund was established in response to the COVID-19 crisis. The fund has helped students with transportation, past due utility bills and food insecurity.
For students facing an unexpected hardship or an emergency, please email deanofstudents@oswego.edu
Here's How We Can Help
-
Referring students to appropriate resources.
-
Helping faculty/staff who need information about resources to support the students they work with.
-
Supporting students experiencing personal challenges such as:
-
Students who are experiencing financial hardships, please contact the deanofstudents@oswego.edu. Donations can be made to the Student Emergency Fund
- Students who are ill and/or expect to be away from campus unexpectedly.
-
Students who have fallen behind academically, or need to explore medical leave of absence or withdrawal from college.
-
Students who just don’t know where to go or who to ask for help.
-
Educating students on substance use and supporting students who need help exploring the substance use of a friend or family member. We help reduce their personal risk when using substances, and connect students to local addiction services. We also provide educational opportunities/interventions when there are alleged violations of our student code of conduct.
-
Helping students develop an overall healthy lifestyle including personal well-being, sexual health and violence prevention, and helping students understand their rights and responsibilities in our community.
Financial Well-being
Financial Well-being encourages balancing our perspectives about money and budgets, productive ways to handle stress related to finances, and practical techniques to manage, earn, spend, and save money. As a college student, an emerging young adult or working professional, personal finances can be a stressful area to manage. However, with the right tools, resources, and education, you can learn how to manage your finances and improve your overall financial well-being.
