Life always seems to bring financial emergencies at the wrong time. Wor-Wic knows that students on tight budgets can be devastated by a financial crisis, and that it can get in the way of your academic success. To help you during those difficult times, we have emergency assistance funds given by generous donors to provide short-term financial support.
Emergency assistance is meant to meet a specific short-term need and it is not ongoing financial assistance. Examples of short-term needs include:

If a student is eligible for emergency assistance, funds will be awarded through the business office in the form of direct payment to a third party (e.g., to a utility company) or in the form of a gift card.

Complete the emergency assistance application and bring it along with requested documentation to the financial aid office in BH 109. You can also send it via e-mail to financialaid@worwic.edu.
