Student Emergency Fund

Purpose

The University of Texas at San Antonio Student Emergency Fund is provided through the generous donations from university students, Parents, alumni and faculty and staff. This fund is for limited financial assistance when students are unable to meet immediate, essential expenses because of temporary hardship related to an emergency situation. Some funds are counted as income and are subject to federal taxes.

To ensure we can help as many students as possible, we plan to limit grants to less than $500, unless there are extraordinary circumstances.

Types of Covered Expenses

There are ranges of incidents that may incur financial hardships. Typical expenses that may be covered include but are not limited to:

  • Medications/Prescriptions or costs related to medical care
  • Assistance with rent or utilities due to emergency situation*
  • Books, fees or other school-related expenses
  • Safety related needs (i.e. changing a lock on vehicle or home)
  • Replacement of personal belongings due to fire or natural disaster

Due to COVID-19, the Student Emergency Fund will not be prioritizing rent and utilities at this time because of the executive orders halting evictions from rental units and utilities not cutting services. We are monitoring changes and will change prioritization based on local, state, and federal mandates.
