There is no higher priority than the safety and wellbeing of our students, faculty, and staff. 

Many of our students experience financial hardships during their time here pursuing an education. 

We have heard from many of you asking how you can help our students. Thank you for asking! 

Your gift to the Student Emergency Fund will directly benefit Western Washington University students and provide relief for financial hardships such as:

Housing and food insecurity

Travel expenses related to returning home

Technology needs to ensure students can access their class resources

Scholarship support for tuition and fees

Other unforeseen financial challenges

All students are eligible for these funds, including undocumented students. This is especially critical since undocumented students are not eligible for many other kinds of aid. 

In any time of crisis, the Western Washington University community responds with grace and generosity — exemplifying our core values of being student-centered, inclusive, compassionate, respectful, and optimistic. 

Thank you for your help protecting and supporting the educational and financial needs of our students. We wish you and your families the very best as we work together to care for our community.
