About

Student Emergency Fund
One of MSU Denver’s core values is access—all students should have access to resources they need to succeed in college and finish their education. The Student Emergency Fund is an emergency stipend for MSU Denver students who are dealing with unanticipated life events that might otherwise cause the student to stop or pause their educational goals.

Last year, MSU Denver provided more than $150,000 to students in need of help with housing costs, utilities, car repairs, childcare and other financially difficult situations.

What kind of expenses are covered by this fund?
The Student Emergency Fund provides one-time assistance to students who are dealing with an unanticipated financial emergency which may pose a threat to basic needs or well-being. Eligible expenses frequently include: rental assistance/eviction prevention, utilities, and childcare. Supporting the Student Emergency Fund directly impacts our students’ quality of life by providing the critical support they need to be successful.

Your Support
When you support the Student Emergency Fund, our most vulnerable students can stay at MSU Denver, finish their degree and go on to make a difference in their communities. This fund is made possible because of Roadrunners like you, and the amount of aid available is dependent on the support we get from our generous donors.

We are so grateful for all that you do to provide assistance to our students!
