Student Support Fund

Through generous donors, St. Lawrence may assist students when unexpected situations arise, and financial support is needed. These situations may range from clothing needs, travel due to family emergencies, medical expenses, and academic materials. The funding cannot be used for tuition, room & board, or other bills due to the university. 

Prior to approval, all requests require a meeting with the Associate Dean to get more context for the situation. The Financial Aid office is consulted as to level of need. If funding is granted, the process for receiving the funds may take 2-14 days, and the student is given instructions for follow-up.

• Students are limited to accessing the fund only once in their enrollment.
• Please note that we have limited funds with restrictive use, therefore not all requests will be granted, and some may only receive funding in part.
• In some cases, the funding will be considered a loan with a payback schedule in consultation with the student.
• Students should know this may be considered taxable income by the IRS. Please consult with Student Financial Services and Financial Aid regarding additional funding. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Associate Dean for Student Life & Community Standards, Dr. Jodi Canfield at jcanfield@stlawu.edu.
• The student will send a thank you letter to the donors and this will be coordinated through the Community Standards office.
