The Hardship Fund exists to provide low-income students with financial assistance when faced with an unexpected and urgent situation that distracts them from their academic endeavors at Valpo. This fund is specifically for non-academic costs that still impact a student's experience at Valpo. Consideration will be given to historically underrepresented students in higher education. Please complete all sections of the form below and take the time to elaborate on why you need the funding. Providing as many details as possible will make the process more efficient. The information shared in this application will be kept private and secure and will only be shared with the Hardship Fund Committee to decide on your application.
