Syracuse University and the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarship Programs are committed to student success. In these unusual and unprecedented times, we recognize that students may face unexpected challenges in reaching their educational goals and may need short-term financial support. To apply for emergency relief please submit this application. This application is intended for students who are not eligible for Federal financial aid funding sources. If you are eligible for Federal financial aid please complete this form. Grants awarded are intended to reduce financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic, but in some instances will not fully resolve or remove the financial burden. Examples of COVID-19 related expenses eligible for grant consideration include, but are not limited to: emergency travel, medical expenses, costs related to emergency shelter, storage/shipping costs, technology needs resulting in expenses that exceed what is already provided for in the 2020-2021 Cost of Attendance, medical/health related expenses, food insecurity, accessibility, and childcare expenses. Please set up direct deposit on MySlice, in the Finances section of your Student Services list. When funds become available, paper checks will be mailed once a week. Grants will be awarded to students for the duration that resources are available.
Additional documentation is required when submitting this request. Examples of required documents include (but are not limited to): copy of lease/mortgage, receipts of travel expenses, verification of technology purchase/expenses, receipts across a 1-month duration [if possible], or bank or credit card statements with extraneous information redacted.
Eligible medical costs are for COVID-19 related expenses including COVID-19 testing costs.
Please describe your other expenses.
I affirm that the information I have provided on this form is true, accurate and related to the COVID-19 emergency to the best of my knowledge. Additional documentation may be requested before we can provide funding. Please continue to monitor your Syracuse University email address if additional information is needed; if additional documentation is needed an email will be sent to you there.
