Help UMass Amherst Students Cover Emergency Expenses

For students living in economic insecurity, unforeseen expenses can threaten their ability to remain in school and graduate. An unexpected car repair or textbook purchase, a smaller than usual paycheck due to illness—these types of everyday situations can derail a student’s goal of earning a university degree.

The Student Care & Emergency Response Fund provides fast financial resources for these situations. Through your generosity, students with emergency financial needs will receive immediate support, allowing them to stay in school, and remain focused on academic success and graduation. No donation amount is too small, and 100% of your contribution goes directly to assisting students in urgent need.


Students seeking more information about the Student Care & Emergency Response Fund and other university support services should contact the Dean of Students Office.
