STUDENT HARDSHIP FUND
COVID-19 has impacted all of us, but it will not deter the Commodore spirit of collaboration and care.
Many members of the Vanderbilt community have asked how to help students needing assistance. The Student Hardship Fund was created to support the immediate needs of students experiencing hardships as a result of COVID-19. We hope you will join us in support of our students by making a gift of any size to this special fund.
The Student Hardship Fund is put to work to support unexpected student expenses, like last-minute airline tickets, housing, meals, the technology needed for online learning, and other necessities.
A gift to the Student Hardship Fund will help give our students peace of mind in times of uncertainty and demonstrate the true power and values of the Vanderbilt community. The fund will also remain in place to help students deal with future hardships unrelated to COVID-19.
