College Track Emergency Fund Request Form

College Track offers a grant to scholars who are active in College Thrive programming and are facing unexpected, emergency situations for which no financial aid or other assistance is available.
This is a grant for scholars with eligible emergency expenses , and no other means to pay / have explored alternative financial options available to them.
In the vast majority of cases, this grant can only cover a number of non-cost of attendance items.
In rare cases, scholars may be eligible for select cost of attendance items, if they meet special exception criteria.

If you are eligible for a special exception, the form will allow you to request funds for tuition and fees, university health insurance, or university housing/meals/utilities.

Any time during the year. This can occur as early as July 1st and as late as June 20th of each year.
Although the scholar request form will be open all year, please note College Track cannot review or process requests on National holidays or other org-wide/ College Track holidays.
As such, expect delays during the following ‘No Payments Weeks.’
For support with this application, please reach out to your College Thrive Coach, or reference the FY26 Emergency Fund Application Guide.

Most often, funds will be paid directly to the vendor/payee with a check or electronic check, but in rare cases, a payment may be issued directly to the scholar (with invoice required). As such, payment method and timing may vary (see more info here).
Please note we CANNOT reimburse scholars for payments they've already made.
