Emergency Grant Application

The Emergency Grant Application is intended to assist currently enrolled KU Lawrence/Edwards campus students who are experiencing an unexpected or unforeseen expense due to circumstances beyond their control. Emergency funds are intended to assist a student in addressing an immediate, unexpected financial hardship which might otherwise prevent them from continued participation as a KU student. Please review examples of an emergency, as well as expenses that are not considered at help.ku.edu/emergency-funds.

Please be aware that applying does not guarantee that you will receive funding. Awarding of funding is not immediate and can take time – if you have questions or concerns about your application, please contact ean@ku.edu. 

Please Note: The Emergency Grant Application awards institutional funding. It is not the same as the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF). HEERF was temporary federal funding that was awarded to KU students in Spring 2020, Spring 2021, and Fall 2021. All HEERF funding has been exhausted.
