"I am grateful for the support I received from the Student Emergency Aid. It allowed me to continue my summer internship experience. The Student Emergency Aid can help more students like me take advantage of opportunities to further our education, even in the face of adversity.”

"The student emergency aid has been a true help towards my success. This summer, if I had not received emergency aid I would not have been able to take the final courses I needed for the nursing program. Thank you, USCB!"

"As someone who has always had to support myself financially, college has been a constant battle to balance work with school—trying to work enough to pay for my education without working so much that l don't have time for my classes. It might sound like an easy balance, but one income at 20 hours a week does nearly nothing towards paying my tuition. In addition to this, getting sick with COVID was a devastating blow because I had to be hospitalized and missed many hours of work and school. Receiving support from the Student Emergency Aid made the difference between the end of my college career and being able to continue."
