My incoming PhD student (starting this fall) recently reached out to me saying she experienced a personal crisis this summer and now is unsure she’ll have enough savings to move and pay a security deposit for an apartment. She asked if I know of any emergency financial support for students to ensure she’ll be able to start graduate school this fall. Anyone have any suggestions about where to look for this? If worst comes to worst could offer her a loan myself (her PhD is fully funded with prestigious fellowship) but that seems like not a great idea both personally and professionally. But I would hate her to lose her fellowship simply because she can’t afford to move or pay her first month’s rent!
My university has funds for emergencies for graduate students. She should also contact financial aid. They have some latitude in emergency situations.
