Student Emergency Grant Funds
Enrolled students who are experiencing a financial emergency - defined as an unforeseen expense - may apply for emergency grants funded through the GV Cares Emergency Fund or the American Rescue Plan. Students also will be referred to additional campus, community, and financial literacy resources to help address root causes or contributing factors to the financial emergencies, and help students stay on track to graduate. The GV Cares Emergency Fund is made possible by the generous donations of staff, faculty members, alumni and friends of Grand View.
