How It Works

Please provide information to help the Grant Committee better understand the situation that has led to your application for financial assistance. Please note that you are not required to provide personal information that would prove embarrassing or cause added emotional stress. However, the better the Committee understands the events that have occurred, the better they will be able to evaluate your request. This section should serve only to clarify your situation and support your application.

NOTE: Please also include details surrounding any expenses accrued as a result of your hardship, and include those expenses that are subject to coverage by insurance (including coverage limitations and deductibles).
