Help PSU Students Keep Moving Forward
An unexpected car accident. A sudden loss of income. An urgent housing expense.
For Portland State students, financial challenges can arise without warning, putting their education at risk.
Your gift to PSU's emergency and hardship funds can help students overcome these challenges and stay on track toward graduation.
A Little Support Can Make All the Difference
When Kylie Kue ’26 was involved in a serious car accident, she lost her car, her work hours were cut and she had to leave one of her jobs.
Support from hardship funds helped Kylie cover transportation and other basic expenses so she could stay in school.
Today, Kylie is a proud PSU graduate.
“The hardship fund helped cover transportation and other basic expenses so I could stay in school.”
