Students may find times where unexpected life events or circumstances may be disruptive to completing their degree or semester. The Alice Cruden Evenson and Herbena Nygard Fund exists to support the financial wellness and personal wellbeing of our students as they persist toward degree completion. The fund aims to provide financial support when students need assistance with unexpected, unforeseen, and unavoidable emergency expenses that interrupt their ability to complete the semester or their degree.
Currently enrolled students may apply for funds when they have exhausted all other resources. Priority will be given to students whose tenure at UNT may be at risk because of unexpected expenses. If Student Emergency Funds are granted, they do not have to be repaid.
Types of verified emergencies that can be used to apply for the Student Emergency Fund include, but are not limited to, the following:
** Expenses not considered eligible emergencies: tuition and fees, study abroad costs, non-essential utilities, parking tickets, non-emergency travel, etc.
