Student Emergency Fund: Help is AvailableThe University of Arizona utilizes the Richard H. Tyler Student Emergency Fund to support our students who are in danger from withdrawing due to an unexpected, temporary financial hardship as a result of illness, family crisis, natural disaster, or other emergency or crisis situations. The fund is intended to assist UA students by providing subsidies solely for unexpected emergency expenses.
The Richard H. Tyler Student Emergency Fund is intended to cover temporary costs that may hinder a student from succeeding academically or from meeting their basic needs. Therefore, students may only apply for assistance once per academic year.
In addition to the Richard H. Tyler funding, the committee is reviewing applications and recommending students that are potentially eligible for student emergency relief through the CARES Act to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
These federal funds may only be provided for student expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the coronavirus. Funds cannot be granted on need alone or due to financial loss because of COVID-19. Recipients must be chosen from among the approximately 22,000 Arizona students who are fully eligible for federal financial aid.
Students that are not CARES Act eligible will be considered for funding through the donor funding.

Initiating Greater Inclusion in Your Work: How IOI Can Help
Brought to you by the ALVSCE Perspectives on Diversity & Inclusion Series
Live Online Event
Wednesday, September 16
Noon/12 - 1 pm
Via Zoom, Register Today
Since George Floyd was murdered and #BlackLivesMatter gained much broader support from across diverse communities, there has been an increase in interest in trainings, workshops, and practices to make units, departments, and organizations more inclusive and equitable. The space between a desire for organizational change and actually making that change a reality, however, is wide, and there are often multiple competing stakeholders in this change process, as well as foundational knowledge about power, opportunity, and equity to be acquired. IOI is here to help you through this time as a unit, or individually in your own leadership, teaching, advising, and programming.
We offer a variety of free DEI related resources, support services, and trainings for faculty, staff, and students, and we are leading the institution’s response to the rise in anti-Asian harassment and hate due to COVID-19. We also house a large amount of data on BIPOC students’ experiences at the University of Arizona, and we use this in collaboration with other units and coalitions to work for change on campus. Collectively our work is focused on supporting individuals and units as they engage in focus on organizational change for greater equity and inclusion.
