Student Emergency & Student Food Pantry Funds
Direct crisis relief & vital nutrition

Your Support Helps Students in Crisis & Feed Students and Families

Student Emergency Fund: Emergency funds are available to those students who experience unexpected costs, including for rent, food, transportation, and technology.

This fund is a lifeline for our students – it offers them support when the unexpected strikes and helps keep them enrolled and on track to graduate.

Student Food Pantry: We know that about one-third of students are worried about having sufficient quantities of affordable, nutritious food. 

The SMU food pantries are here so that students have access to healthy and nourishing food that promotes health and wellbeing so they can successfully focus on your studies.
