Have you experienced an emergency that could prevent you from staying in school?

You may be eligible to receive a grant from the Student Emergency Funds.

As part of helping students solve problems and reduce their barriers to succeeding at Gateway, students must visit with a Student Finance Specialist at Gateway before receiving an application and being considered for funding. Access to the grant depends upon several criterion.

If you are Pell-eligible and seeking help with rent, utilities, vehicle repair, dependent care or medical expenses, you may receive a grant of up to $1,000. If you have completed at least 12 credits at Gateway with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or greater, are currently enrolled in at least three credits, and are seeking help with tuition, books, student fees, supplies, rent, utilities, food, auto repair, gas cards or child care, you may be able to receive up to $750.

Documentation of the costs and the correct, typed name of the company to be paid is required. If approved, the grant provides direct payment to third parties to cover the cost of books, tuition fees or other expenses required to complete their education. The grant is generally available to a student only one time during their time at Gateway.
