Student Emergency Fund

The UT Dallas Student Emergency Fund was created to support all UT Dallas students experiencing financial hardships. The fund is managed by the Division of Student Affairs and Office of Financial Aid, and financial support is based on immediate needs. More about the fund below.

International Student Emergency Fund

This fund is managed out of the International Student Services Office and was established to support F-1 international students at UT Dallas.

It prioritizes students whose curricular practical training (CPT) internship employment may have been reduced or canceled. The fund also supports various expenses regarding immigration applications, housing, medical expenses, etc.

Comet Cupboard

To meet the needs of on-campus students experiencing food insecurity, the Comet Cupboard continues to serve the UT Dallas community while prioritizing safety. The Comet Cupboard is currently experiencing high levels of demand; please also consider donating food items by emailing cupboard@utdallas.edu.

Callier Patient Emergency Fund

Support for this fund will help bridge the gap for emergency patient care at the Callier Center for Communication Disorders. The financial need of Callier patients continues to grow due to the economic impact of the pandemic. New funding is needed to ensure that the center can continue serving our community, especially children and families who otherwise cannot afford treatment due to insufficient insurance coverage or income loss.

About the UT Dallas Student Emergency Fund

During this time of uncertainty, the well-being of our campus community is our greatest concern. Unfortunately, many UTD students are facing difficulties as a direct result of COVID-19, and unexpected financial hardships may limit students from continuing on their academic journeys.

Yet even in this uncertain time, we’re witnessing the resilient Comet spirit. Alumni and friends are asking how they can work with us to help, so the University created a fund to address the emergent needs of our students.

By supporting the UT Dallas Student Emergency Fund, you can assist UTD students contending with financial challenges such as:

Technology needs for remote learning

Elimination of jobs and/or reduction of income

Housing and food insecurity

Medical care and prescriptions

Travel costs to return home

Other unplanned expenses

Now more than ever, we need the Comet community to come together in support of every student facing unforeseen challenges.

Thank you for your generosity in these unprecedented times.
