AS/FEB Student Emergency Fund Application and Disbursement Process
The Academic Senate (AS)/Faculty Executive Board (FEB) Student Emergency Fund is an initiative of the 皇家华人 Academic Senate and COM Faculty Executive Board.鈥� It is intended to help 皇家华人 students with one-time emergency grants.鈥� The grants will not be required to be paid back.鈥� However, the expectation is that once students are able, they will donate either the full amount or another amount back into the fund so that the Student Emergency Fund is continually available for future 皇家华人 students.
The goal is to provide for an acute financial need that might otherwise result in them having to drop out or suspend their educational journey. We envision funds being used to alleviate a crisis in housing, food insecurity, or other unexpected and immediate needs.
The emergency fund is not intended for long-term financial needs such as tuition, expected ongoing living expenses, and occasional shortfalls. We encourage all students to contact 皇家华人鈥檚 Financial Aid Office and Student Services for scholarships, grants, and loans to finance their educational journey. We expect that applicants will have explored other sources of funding.
The process for receiving grants from the AS/FEB Student Emergency Fund is outlined below.
Students fill out an and submit it to the Academic Senate. The maximum amount that can be requested is $500. Documentation confirming the emergency is required.
(3 business days later) The Academic Senate determines whether the student qualifies for a grant from the AS/FEB Student Emergency Fund based on the student鈥檚 described financial need.
(7 days after grant approval) A grant check is issued to the student.
If and when students can, they can donate either the full grant amount or another amount back into the鈥疭tudent Emergency Fund . Students can contact the Academic Senate Office for donation details: 323-249-5704,鈥�academicsenate@cdrewu.edu.
