The CSSH Emergencies, Persistence, & Engagement Fund is intended to ensure that all active CSSH undergraduate students can participate in experiential and classroom learning and co- and extra-curricular activities when encountering financial challenges. Funds are available to students experiencing immediate, unanticipated, one-time needs that exceed their resources.
Eligibility: Students must be at the undergraduate level, coded as active in NU systems, on co-op, or enrolled in courses (can be abroad). Their home college must be CSSH. The vast majority of applications that have been approved are from students with a FAFSA on file that demonstrates medium- or high-financial need.
The fund may be able to assist with emergencies like a grocery gift card after a student misses a week of work due to illness, academic supplies such as an unexpected laptop repair, and student involvement costs such as dues to participate in a student organization.
Please visit the website to learn more about eligibility requirements, and examples of financial needs that may or may not be covered, and to apply.
