Angel Fund Emergency Grant

UMass Amherst established the Angel Fund in 2017 to help meet the legal, academic, housing, living and counseling needs of students who are adversely affected by changes in federal immigration.

The Angel Fund allows the Dean of Students Office to provide emergency grants to enrolled undergraduate and graduate students experiencing unexpected financial emergencies due to changes in federal immigration policy. The grant does not have to be repaid, and the amounts distributed will be determined on a case-by-case basis taking into account the identified need and availability of funds.

Students seeking to receive an Angel Fund Emergency Grant should contact the Dean of Students Office via email @email from their UMass email to schedule a meeting with a Dean of Students Office staff member to discuss their circumstances and eligibility.
