Student Emergency Fund

The Student Emergency Fund provides grants for SUNY Orange students to pay for urgent expenses triggered by unforeseen events that threaten their ability to stay in college. Tuition, fees, and book costs are not eligible expenses.

Please note that not all students who apply will receive a grant and only completed applications will be considered. Determinations of requests are final and not open to appeal.
