Over the past year, it has become apparent that many of our students face financial hardship as they navigate the unexpected and far-reaching implications of COVID-19. With these hardships brought to light other unexpected emergencies our students sometimes face have been brought to the forefront. In order to support these students, the Artis College of Science and Technology Student Emergency Fund was established. With the support of generous donors like you, this fund will provide financial support to students in the Artis College who need assistance with emergency expenses. The goal of this fund is to help students remain enrolled.
