Grant Summary

$100,000 over 12 months to support emergency relief funds for undergraduate students enrolled at the Newark and Camden campuses of Rutgers University. The students enrolled at these two campuses are predominantly first-generation, low-income, and from communities that have disproportionately been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The emergency funds established by these two campuses will help students access basic technology and meet basic needs such as food and housing.
