Crisis Fund

The UMD Student Crisis Fund provides immediate assistance to any student who faces an unanticipated emergency financial need. With the continued COVID-19 pandemic, Maryland students have been hard hit by the campus disruptions and need help to continue their education. The best option to quickly respond to students in need of financial assistance right now is the UMD Student Crisis Fund.

Established in 2001, the UMD Student Crisis Fund has been a critical resource for students during their time of need. Thanks to on-going community support, the UMD Student Crisis Fund continues to help provide students with temporary housing in an emergency, help replace books and school supplies after an unexpected disaster, help support students facing a medical emergency, and so much more.
