About

Support Students When They Need It Most

Students in the College of Urban & Public Affairs (CUPA) are dedicated to shaping stronger communities through policy, planning, and public service. But when unexpected financial hardships arise—such as housing instability, medical emergencies, or transportation challenges—these future changemakers may be forced to put their education on hold.

The CUPA Student Hardship Fund provides critical, short-term financial assistance to students facing sudden crises, ensuring they can stay enrolled and continue their education.

Your gift can help cover essential needs like:

  • Emergency housing and food assistance
  • Medical expenses and childcare support
  • Transportation for urgent situations
  • Replacement of essential belongings due to theft, fire, or disaster

Every dollar can help students in need, offering immediate relief when it matters most. Your generosity can help keep CUPA students on the path to making a difference in our communities.

Give today and be the support students need to succeed!
