Students can access the Student Success Emergency Fund application on The Bridge. The Student Success Emergency
Fund
Application can be found here. Those requesting textbook or instructional supplies should complete the
application here. Applications are reviewed by members of the Vice President of
Student Development /Dean of Students, Financial Aid and Student Administrative
Services. In addition, students are asked to meet with a member of the Student
Development staff. We respect the privacy and dignity of every student asking
for emergency funds, and questions asked are necessary to ensure that students are
accessing all the resources available to them. During the meeting, students
are asked questions regarding the available resources on campus and if they are
maximizing their financial aid packages, including but not limited to, the Federal
Stafford Loan (a low interest subsidized loan of approximately $5,500 - $7,500).
Each applicant’s financial aid package is reviewed to ensure that approved
assistance from the Student Success Emergency Fund does not exceed our cost of
attendance. Federal regulations require that all student aid and assistance
must fall within the annual cost of attendance. The Student Success Emergency Fund
Committee then makes a determination on the student’s eligibility for
funding.
All requests are private and application information will
only be shared with Loyola University staff reviewing resource
decisions.
