Governor’s Emergency Educational Relief Fund for Students
Attention faculty, staff, and students: The Governor's Emergency Educational Relief Fund granted $1.3 million to UIC and is awarding up to $2500 per student for past due rent, medical bills, computer-related expenses, familial hardship (parent lost job, household food insecurity), etc. Part-time students are still eligible with adjusted funding. Students can't apply themselves and need to be referred by faculty/staff. We have been informed that the online application is having issues, so please email the fund directly. Please visit the webpage for more information https://geer.uic.edu/.
