About

This year, Gettysburg College's BOLD (‘Burgians of the Last Decade) Council, is raising support and awareness for the Student Emergency Fund.

The Student Emergency Fund is a campus resource that provides timely financial support to students in emergencies. All requests remain confidential and require no repayment. The fund is most commonly used for expenses such as medications and/or prescriptions, family/emergency travel, and food insecurities.

Last year, over 130 emergency fund student requests were received, of which 89 were fully or partially fulfilled. The generous support of the College's alumni, parents, and employees, provided the sole source of funding.

Student requests arise from a variety of situations and vary greatly in the amount requested. This means that your gift, no matter the size, will have an immediate impact.
