Crisis Loans

The OSAS crisis loan and grant program has transitioned to the central Emergency Financial Support Request program with the Office of Student Financial Aid. This allows students to apply for emergency support in one location to learn about all available emergency financial grant or loan opportunities that they may be eligible for.

Students with existing OSAS crisis loans will not be impacted. Existing OSAS crisis loan holders will still contact our office to request loan extensions.
