About Emergency Loans
Emergency financial aid for college students can include grants, awards, food pantries, clothing closets, loans, and possibly emergency housing. The center provides interest-free emergency loans through the EAGLE SUPPORT PROGRAM to help when students face financial emergencies.
Situations such as needing textbooks and course materials, rent and bills assistance, out-of-pocket travel expenses to attend conferences, copays and medical expenses, unpaid balances, and other unanticipated expenses.
The program also offers student veterans and dependents a special loan that provides them with a line of credit at the University Barnes & Noble bookstore.
