Dean of Students: Student In Crisis Fund Application

If you are experiencing a financial crisis that may negatively impact your academics, you may be eligible to receive one time financial support from the Students in Crisis Fund. The Students in Crisis Fund was created for currently enrolled, matriculated students who find themselves in a financial crisis that is or has the potential to negatively impact their enrollment and academic success at University of Oregon.


This fund is made possible by generous donations from our UO Duck Community with the hope, purpose, and mission to decrease barriers to academic success when students experience temporary financial concerns. The Students in Crisis Fund is a payer of last resort. Only students who have never received student in crisis funds previously and complete this intake form will be considered.
