The Division of Student Affairs offers a resource called the Angel Fund to assist and support enrolled, full-time undergraduate students who experience a short term financial hardship.
A request for the Angel Fund can be up to $300.00. Students may receive grant funding from the Angel Fund two times over the course of their experience at 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯, but only once in any given semester.
In order to receive an award from the Angel Fund, students must complete an online application and provide supporting documentation. During the academic year, requests will be reviewed by the Angel Fund committee weekly. Depending on the nature of the request, you may be asked for further clarification and/or additional documentation.

- Essential personal belongings lost in a fire, flood, or theft

- Essential car repair to maintain access to reliable transportation to classes

Any questions about this resource may be directed to the Office of Student Affairs at studentaffairs@mica.edu. Please note that funds will be distributed via direct payment/purchase of the items in question. The committee does not issue funds directly to a student and the committee does not provide reimbursement for previously purchased materials. Please allow a minimum of seven business days for review of each request.
