Financial Support for Students to Buy Course Materials

Students who need financial support in order to be able to purchase their required course materials can apply for up to $300 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.

Students who need to purchase course materials NOT available through Akademos, can still submit an application requesting assistance.  

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 BEFORE submitting applications.

**If you don't have your entire list of course materials, but you have materials totaling $300, please submit your list. Vouchers will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis!

Due to the high volume of submissions, applications will be due no later than August 11, 2023. The SERF committee will begin reviewing applicants for financial need beginning 8/7/23. Funding will be awarded to students on a first-come, first-served basis. In order to support as many students as possible, each qualifying student will be able to receive a maximum award of $300 per semester.

**If you do not submit an itemized list with your application, your request will be denied and you will be asked to re-submit!**

Students can apply by completing the Student Emergency Relief Form requesting support.
