Hardship Fund

Stony Brook University recognizes that faculty, students and staff may experience hardships that require emergency financial assistance. The Hardship Fund is a program available to assist eligible faculty, students and staff who are experiencing a personal financial emergency and who have exhausted all other avenues for obtaining assistance. The fund is not a loan. It is designed to address an event or catastrophe that is non-recurring, sudden, unexpected, and critical, such as:

• Family crisis
• Acute illness
• Natural disaster
• Fire
