The SUNY Poly Foundation has established a fund to assist students who are financially struggling from an unforeseen financial hardship, including those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Students currently enrolled for the fall ’20 semester and in good academic standing with the college at the time of the submission can apply for awards that will support urgent expenses that threaten a student’s ability to stay in college.

Examples of eligible expenses include housing changes or threat of eviction, medical emergency, domestic violence, theft, loss or change in employment, transportation, or childcare, just to name a few.

Applications are available by visiting the SUNY Poly Foundation’s website and will be reviewed beginning July 1, 2020.
