EmoryTogether Fund now accepting applications

To help students experiencing financial hardship directly related to the impact of COVID-19, the EmoryTogether Fund will begin accepting applications for fall semester and winter break assistance. The EmoryTogether Fund was created to help degree-seeking undergraduate, graduate and professional students who meet the eligibility requirements. 

Awards are intended to assist with eligible expenses but likely will not cover 100% of students' needs. Most awards are between $50 and $500. Students may request EmoryTogether Fund assistance once per semester.
