As we have reached the conclusion of the Fall 2022 semester, the Student Emergency Relief Fund (SERF) has opened its application period to apply for course material financial support for the Spring 2023 semester. Students who need financial support in order to be able to purchase their required course materials can apply for up to $200 of aid. This support comes in the form of course material vouchers that can only be used to purchase textbooks and other required materials via our preferred provider, Akademos.
The SERF committee is now accepting applications for receiving course material vouchers for the Spring 2023 semester. The application period will remain live from Friday, December 23, until Monday, January 2.
The SERF committee will begin reviewing applications on Tuesday, January 3rd, with priority given to students who have not already been awarded vouchers for the 2022-23 academic year. Remaining funding will be awarded to students on a first-come first-served basis. The financial need of each individual applicant will also be factored into the review process.
Please note: An itemized list of materials (with their prices) is REQUIRED in order to be considered. If your required materials are not yet posted, please reach out to your professors for this information.
