Student Basic Needs and Emergency Support

According to a 2023 survey of Saint Paul College students, 62% of respondents experienced food or housing insecurity within the last year. And, 1,513 students received emergency funds for situations that could disrupt their ability to stay engaged in the classroom or even force them to stop attending school altogether. 

Emergencies include anything from a car breaking down to choosing between food and paying tuition. We want to help keep our students in the classroom because we know that lessening the stress about how to pay an unexpected bill or where their next meal will come from, opens up their ability to focus on coursework; and isn't that what students should be focusing on? 

Help us keep our students in class and learning, so they can graduate and go out into the world to do the amazing things we know they are capable of achieving!
