The Emory University Hardship Fund
What is the Emory University Hardship Fund?
The Emory University Hardship Fund (the “Fund”) is a community fund, designed to
assist staff and faculty members who are experiencing a temporary financial
hardship due to a catastrophic event.
A hardship is considered to be an extreme misfortune of a faculty, staff or immediate
family member, for reasons beyond their control, that results in the individual’s
inability to meet basic living necessities.
The Fund is supported by voluntary charitable donations provided by faculty, staff
and any entities wanting to assist Emory community members facing unexpected
financial challenges.
All regular full- and part-time faculty and staff are eligible to apply. All applications
shall remain confidential.
