Support the College of Education this UMassGives!
The Student Emergency Fund is a lifeline for College of Education students in need. That’s why, every year during UMassGives, we encourage our donors to make a gift to this fund. Your gift directly supports students facing financial hardship–and enables them to do things like make a rent payment, secure childcare, purchase groceries, or even replace a laptop.
Your contribution can make an immeasurable difference in our students' lives by gifting them the luxury of focusing all of their attention on their studies. Supporting the College of Education means supporting the next generation of justice-minded educators.
Since the Student Emergency Fund was created in 2018, it has dispersed more than $62,000 to students in need. In the last year alone, the Fund provided more than $20,000 to students.

You’re helping to make a tremendous impact on our students. Thank you!
