Emergency Funding

Resources Available for Emergency Funding

There are a number of emergency funds available to students who qualify. If you have not already, please fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid at www.fafsa.gov.  The first step in the emergency grant process is to determine if there is financial aid available to help you with your expenses. If you are not able to fill out the FAFSA, please apply for the emergency grant and let us know that in the application.

Grants Available to Additional Campus Students

Students attending the Manitowoc, Marinette, or Sheboygan campuses are able to apply for the following grants:

  • Additional Locations Emergency Grant

We recommend students apply for the Additional Locations grant first, especially if your emergent needs include medical expenses, travel for a family emergency, replacement of things due to a fire and/or car repairs. However, if that does not cover your needs, you are still able to apply for the Phoenix Emergency Grant.
