UM: Emergency Funds
The Detroit Free Press publishes a report on food banks and other types of emergency relief for students at public universities in Michigan. The article quotes UM spokeswoman Kelly Cunningham: “If the student comes forward, we can help them. We always reserve funds for emergencies, and we can disburse emergency funds as quickly as the same day the student asks for help. Students can apply online and receive up to $500 the next morning.” [Source]
