Applications for the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Urgent Student Relief Fund<\/a> are now open for students at all 10 campuses. The fund is for students experiencing urgent financial distress and\/or challenges with their school work due to the circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Applications will be due by 4 p.m. each Wednesday with notification the following week.<\/p>\n

Eligibility criteria<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. The student is currently enrolled at one or more of the UH<\/abbr> campuses in a credit certificate or degree program.<\/li>\n
  2. The student has a documentable temporary financial need resulting from an unexpected emergency event. Urgent Student Relief funding would, in turn, support the student\u2019s ability to be successful and make academic progress.<\/li>\n
  3. Preference will be given to undergraduate and graduate students who are enrolled in at least a half-time status (i.e. 6 credits for undergraduates).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    UH<\/abbr> is anticipating many applications for the Urgent Student Relief due to COVID-19. Every attempt will be made to review and process applications as quickly as possible and as funding permits.<\/p>\n

    “I wish you good health and success as you finish your semester during these challenging times,” said Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Hae Okimoto<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    The Urgent Student Relief Fund was created thanks to the generosity of donors through the UH<\/abbr> Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
