What is the Student Emergency Retention Fund?
Circumstances can change at any moment. Fires, temporary
homelessness, injuries and loss of family are examples of hardships that can
become turning points for students, forever altering the course of their lives
and educational goals. These are only some of the reasons why MSU Denver has
created the Student Emergency Retention Fund. The fund provides one-time emergency
assistance to students who are dealing with an unanticipated life event.
Students can receive funding up to $500 one time during their academic
career; only after they have exhausted all other funding options.
The Student Emergency Retention Fund can cover expenses such as emergency housing assistance, urgent rent or utility assistance, costs related to major accidents or loss due to fire, theft, or natural disaster, and much more.
Why We Need Funding
The Student Emergency Retention Fund allows students to remain
focused on their educational goals instead of the financial toll of an
emergency. Giving a gift to the Student Emergency Retention Fund supports
student success and graduation rates by meeting the basic needs of our
students. Your support can help our students overcome temporary crises and go
on to make an impact in our community. During the Fall 2019 semester, the
Student Emergency Retention Fund supported 60 students!
Support a Student
The Student Emergency Fund is made possible through donors like you! The number of awards given to our students is dependent on the support we get from our generous donors. Any gift, any amount, makes a tremendous impact on our students.
