The fund is a collaboration between the Basic Needs Center, Financial Aid & Scholarships Office, Graduate Division, Graduate Assembly, and ASUC Student Advocate's Office. Through the Basic Needs Emergency Fund, the Basic Needs Center may offer emergency financial assistance in the areas of rent, food, housing security deposit and other emergency and safety needs to enrolled students who have exhausted their financial resources.
Students will also receive additional resources to meet their needs regardless of financial assistance offered through the Basic Needs Emergency Funds. Undergraduate, graduate, international, and undocumented students are eligible.
We recognize that many factors impact one's ability to meet their basic needs. Our process includes an assessment that takes into account all areas of the student and the impacts of other expenses on your ability to pay for rent and food. Other expenses may include medical expenses, costs associated with supporting dependents, and more.
