In addition to the emergency financial assistance grants through the CARES Act for students, the WVU Foundation is working to provide need-based financial support via the Gray Student Emergency Fund. Established in 2013 by retired Student Life Vice President Ken Gray and his wife, Carolyn, the Emergency Fund provides timely financial assistance to current WVU system students who experience a sudden financial hardship that could prevent them from continuing their education or otherwise impact their success within the WVU system.
Students can apply at the link below for consideration following the outlined steps:
1) Click here to start your application.
2) Select “Current Student Inquiry Submission”
3) Click on “Submit a Ticket” icon to the right of screen
4) Enter your name under “Requestor”
5) Enter “Gray Student Emergency Fund” under Subject
6) Click on the applicable term that you are requesting emergency assistance
7) Select “Financial Aid” under Area of Inquiry
8) Provide a brief description of why you are requesting emergency aid
*No additional documentation is required but if you should have documentation supporting your request, please upload prior to submitting.*
9) Click on “Request” at the bottom of the page to submit the ticket.
Once the ticket is submitted, it will be reviewed by the Mountaineer Hub in Morgantown. Students will ultimately be notified of the status of their application as it relates to the Gray Student Emergency Funds through the WVU Foundation in addition to the emergency financial assistance grants provided through the CARES Act.
