Emergency Fund
UW-River Falls is dedicated to student success both in and out of the classroom and recognizes that sometimes financial emergencies can occur that may interfere with this success. The UWRF Emergency Grant/Loan Program assists with some emergencies that can negatively affect success and progress toward a degree.
Resources
The Emergency Grant/Loan Program has certain restrictions for what is eligible for coverage. If these programs do not provide coverage for your specific need, we encourage students to apply for scholarships. The Financial Resources page offers insight for other resources in the community and at UWRF.
UWRF provides the following Emergency Fund programs. It’s important to read the programs carefully to better understand what program you are more qualified for.
- The Universities of Wisconsin Emergency Grant can assist with medical bills, car repairs, travel for family emergencies and to replace items stolen or damaged in a fire. It cannot cover other expenses.
- The UWRF Emergency Grant/Loan Program can assist the above expenses as well as rent, bills from a service provider and public transportation costs.
Emergency Grant approval is dependent on available funds.
