Emergency Grants
Emergency grants are available to eligible veterans who are enrolled fulltime in postsecondary education and experience unexpected financial difficulties that might cause them to drop out from school. Grants are available for a one-time distribution with a suggested maximum of up to $750, but not to exceed $1,000 each based on the cost of the emergency need.

Identify one emergency need for consideration. Grants can be used for expenses such as:

• Housing/Rent
• Utilities
• Medical/Dental expenses
• Personal automobile repair expenses
• Public transportation/Bus pass
• Childcare
  There is no application deadline, but grants will be awarded on an ongoing basis until funds are exhausted.
