Emergency Relief for our UCF Family

Emergency Relief for our UCF Family

UCF students and employees are being affected in very real ways by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many have no safety net and urgently need your help.

If you're among those in a position to help UCF students who are struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic, your support is urgently needed. Without a safety net, losing a job or a housing arrangement can be disastrous.

Gifts to these specific funds will provide immediate relief for students or employees who are housing- and food-insecure, or who need emergency funding to get through this difficult time. 

• Student Emergency Fund – provides short-term emergency student funding for school related expenses, housing, transportation, medical and food 
• Student Housing Insecurity Fund – provides micro-grants to help pay for moves and deposits and cover short-term gaps as students relocate or re-situate
• Employee Relief Fund – provides assistance to UCF employees who are hit especially hard during major events like hurricanes or global pandemics

As we continue to work together to meet unprecedented challenges, let us all remember to be patient and kind. Together, we will do what Knights do best: Charge On!

Thank you for your generosity. 

UCF faculty and staff can make a gift through payroll deduction here.
