Continuing with Confidence

Now, more than ever, Rhodes students need your support!

In these extraordinary times, Rhodes has created the COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund to assist our students and community affected by the global pandemic. We understand the impact of COVID-19 stretches far beyond our campus, touching the lives of every Rhodes community member. Many of our students have been forced into unstable financial situations, jeopardizing their future plans. The heart of the Rhodes Vision is graduating students with a passion for lifelong learning and compassion for others and this time calls on the Rhodes community to come together in supporting our students.

The COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund will give the college means to respond quickly to emergent needs faced by our students due to the pandemic. The fund has already and will continue to provide assistance for such things as:

• Scholarships for tuition and other costs of attendance (room, board, books, supplies) when the family cannot meet these as a result of a change in financial condition due to illness or unemployment for example.
• Provide support to ensure the health and well-being of a student whose family has been affected by loss of job or illness.
• Technology and equipment needed to meet requirements for remote learning.

We have set our goal at 452 - the number of students in the Class of 2020. Every gift made will be in honor of our graduating seniors. 

Make a gift to the COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund today and help students when they need it most.

Any financial support will be incredibly meaningful and appreciated by our students, faculty, and community, allowing us all to Continue with Confidence. Thank you!
