Help Miami University serve students during times of crisis
The Emergency Needs Fund is a critical lifeline of support that provides immediate aid to students whose status as a student is threatened as a result of unforeseen circumstances. Now more than ever, support of this fund is critical as COVID-19 continues to impact every aspect of society. At the onset of this crisis, the Emergency Needs Fund was crucial in helping many of our students return home and in assisting those students who faced unexpected expenses while adapting to the requirements and challenges of remote learning. Now, as families endure record hardship and financial loss, students are at an even greater risk: not being able to return this fall.
By giving to the Emergency Needs Fund, you are helping to ensure that even in these uncertain times, students at Miami can come here to pursue a transformational education and leave here empowered and inspired to change the world.
Students across all of Miami’s campuses, regardless of their educational path or background, need your help. Give to one or both of our campus-based funds to support students now.
"These uncertain times have only exacerbated the fact that every need is different. Many students require tuition assistance, some need internet access, others can't afford rent, and still others need help with basic living expenses. Unfortunately, while we don't know what the weeks and months ahead will bring, we do know that the needs of our students will only increase. With the Emergency Needs Fund, we've been able and will continue to meet students' needs directly, wherever, and whatever they are."
-Brent Shock, VP of Miami University Enrollment Management and Student Success (EMSS)
