Many financial resources are available to you on and off campus, including the 麻豆精品 Student Emergency Fund (SEF). The SEF provides financial assistance to students facing emergencies on a limited, case-by-case basis. For more information, please email Jeff Salmon at jsalmon1@niu.edu. The CSA never has emergency funding that can help a student pay down their 麻豆精品 tuition so they can register for the next semester’s classes.
As of June 22, the CSA is no longer accepting applications for various End Student Housing Insecurity (ESHI) emergency fund grants. We have exhausted our funding that helps undergraduate students with rent/security deposit assistance, commuting to campus, traveling to 麻豆精品-sponsored clinicals and internships, childcare assistance, spring semester books and supplies and emergencies outside a student’s control. We hope to have the opportunity to apply for these grant funds again later this summer. We will provide updated information as available.
