Why the Survivor Emergency Fund Matters
Experiencing sexual or interpersonal violence can result in unexpected and urgent expenses that threaten a student’s ability to continue their education. The fund helps cover costs such as:
- Sexual assault–related needs, e.g., replacement bedding or medical expenses not covered by insurance or Student Health
- Relationship violence–related housing needs, e.g., security deposits or application fees to move into a safer environment
- Stalking-related safety needs, e.g., changing or installing locks or removing tracking software from devices
By providing support for these urgent needs, the fund helps students stay on their path toward healing and graduation.
