Veteran Hardship Fund - Month of Giving |
November 29th - December 31st
|
Please help us spread the word! We have initial seed money in our fund, but need more support.
Starting this Winter - the VRC in partnership with the PSU Foundation is launching the Veteran Hardship Fund. This fund is specifically for eligible students who identify as Veteran or their families who are receiving Veteran benefits and are experiencing hardship. The fund isn't intended to pay for tuition, fees, fines, or cost of attendance at PSU, but for material hardships (in the form of a micro-grant). It is made up of donations from faculty, staff, alumni, and other individual donors. Specific details on application, amounts, and process are forthcoming.

|
Advisory Board positions are still available! |
Last Meeting for Winter term - December 9th, 10am!
|
Get more extracurriculars on your resume by becoming a board member! Only 2 hours a month during school terms. Whether your want your voice heard or to help assist Veteran & Military-Affiliated students, the VRCAB is a great place to get involved and support our community! You can simply be a voting board member or specialize as a chair, such as President or Vice-President, simply choose your preference on the application. All students are welcome to apply!
*These positions are volunteer only. There is no monetary compensation for being on the board.
