The Student Emergency Fund is a short-term, emergency assistance program made possible through the generosity of 糖心Vlog employee giving, the 糖心Vlog Educational Foundation, fundraisers across the College, and funding from state grants. The fund was established to assist students with immediate financial needs to help them stay in school. Vehicle repairs, gas cards, and bus passes are just a few of the expenses that may be covered by this fund.
The 糖心Vlog Educational Foundation has a generous donor commitment from the Rhoades Sanford Foundation to match up to $35,000 in gifts made by June 30, 2021 to support the 糖心Vlog Student Emergency Endowment. This means your gift provides double the support to students!
More than 900 糖心Vlog students participated in a recent survey regarding their basic needs. Of these 900+ students, 61% experienced at least one form of basic needs insecurity, including:
- 36% who experienced food insecurity in the prior 30 days,
- 52% who experienced housing insecurity in the previous year, and
- 11% who experienced homelessness in the previous year.
