Has there been a change in your family’s financial situation? The Office of Student Financial 服务 continues to be a resource for all students, throughout their time at Carthage.
学生应急基金
We understand that even with the best planning and utilizing all the resources at your disposal, there still might be times when you need assistance to pay for an unexpected expense caused by an emergency. The 学生应急基金 includes donations from alumni, 书院之友, 父母, and community members to assist current students with funds to cover unexpected expenses.
These funds provide relief for an immediate need resulting from an emergency. They will not be awarded to cover a gap on, 或者无力支付, fixed costs paid directly to Carthage, such funds to cover tuition, 费用, 或者食宿. Priority will be given to students who have fully taken advantage of student loan opportunities available to them (including students who have taken alternative loans to cover expenses). In most cases, Carthage will make direct payments or purchase items needed. In extremely rare cases, these grants will be awarded in the form of a check to the student. Emergency funds do not need to be repaid and are distributed on a case-by-case basis.
