The Graduate School’s Emergency Fellowship Funding is available to graduate students who experience unusual or unforeseen emergency situations that are of a sudden and temporary nature.

Emergency funds are intended to provide support for **one-time unexpected and extraordinary expenses** and may be up to $3,000, though applications for dire circumstances that exceed that award amount may be considered.

Applicants who are facing financial predicaments that exceed the scope of this fellowship can contact the Graduate School for suggestions about how to further address the challenges they are facing. They also have the option of explaining why additional funds are being requested in the required budget and brief statement that must accompany the application (see below).

Please contact Graduate School Associate Dean [Dr. Terah Chambers](mailto:terah@msu.edu) with any questions.
