College of Science Student Hardship Fund Launched
Thanks to the generosity of the Aggie Family, the College of Science has initiated the College of Science Hardship Fund to provide one-time, emergency financial assistance to students within the college who are experiencing a crisis. This fund is separate from the university’s Student Emergency Fund, from which science majors may also apply for assistance. To access the fund’s website, select “Students” from the main navigation bar on the College of Science home page and select “Student Hardship Fund” from the drop-down menu.

For questions beyond the information on the website, please direct undergraduates to Associate Dean Greg Podgorski and graduate students to Associate Dean Sean Johnson.
