Supplemental Questions
  1. To be considered for the Hardship Fund, please indicate which College of Education program are you pursuing? (hover over help text for more information). Students in programs outside of the College of Education will not be considered.
  2. Which semester will you need to access Student Emergency funding?
  3. Please describe the acute financial emergency or situation for which you are seeking aid. Incomplete requests will not be reviewed. Your request must answer the following questions. 1) What is the dollar amount you are requesting? 2) Briefly describe the acute financial emergency/situation that has prompted your request. 3) How will the requested funds be used to address this situation? 4) How will this financial situation impact your progression in your program if it goes unaddressed? EXAMPLE: I was assigned to do my student teaching in Davis County this semester. This morning my car would not start and my mechanic says the alternator needs replacing and quoted me $550. I am living on a very tight budget while in school and I don’t have savings to cover this expense. I do not know how I will get to/from my student teaching location without repairing my car. I am worried about failing my student teaching experience and disrupting my progression in the undergrad program.
  4. Please list the date that you emailed coescholarships@utah.edu informing the College of your application submission.
