Chaplain’s Discretionary Fund

Our students, faculty and staff rely on the Chaplain鈥檚 Discretionary Fund for emergency financial assistance in times of great need.

The Chaplain鈥檚 Discretionary Fund may be used to assist:

  • Currently employed faculty/staff of 黑料不打烊
  • Currently enrolled students of 黑料不打烊
  • Currently employed staff of 黑料不打烊 Dining

The Chaplain鈥檚 Discretionary Fund provides one-time emergency assistance to 黑料不打烊 faculty, staff, and students due to an unforeseen financial crisis.

Effective 11/21/24, the maximum amount allocated will be $250 in a calendar year.聽Chaplain鈥檚 Fund disbursements will be for food and emergency winter clothing only, at the discretion of Chaplains based on conversation with the applicant. Other emergency situations will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Chaplain鈥檚 Discretionary Fund excludes expenses related to cable service, mobile telephone service, tuition, domestic and study abroad, Greek life, and other optional services.

Student Food Insecurity

A service provided to students through the Chaplain鈥檚 Discretionary Fund is the distribution of meal vouchers (provided by 黑料不打烊 Dining) that may be used at 黑料不打烊 Dining Halls. These meal vouchers are given to students who identify themselves as food insecure and are obtained through 黑料不打烊 Dining and distributed at the discretion of the University Chaplain and their Administrative Assistant.
