The Student Emergency Retention Fund provides immediate support to students facing sudden hardships and helps them stay enrolled, organizers said.

The fund, organizers said, is intended to provide quick assistance when unexpected crises threaten a student’s ability to continue classes. The appeal did not specify eligibility criteria or funding limits.
