The Emergency Retention Fund provides emergency aid to students facing unexpected life events that can derail their education, organizers said.
Organizers said the fund is designed to address barriers that are not academic in nature, offering timely support so students can remain enrolled and continue pursuing their goals.
Officials encourage donors to contribute to the fund to help students during critical moments. Donations can be made online at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/bzdnww, organizers said.
Organizers said the fund aims to remove short-term financial obstacles that threaten student persistence, allowing recipients to focus on their studies rather than immediate crises.
