Marsal Education Emergency Fund is intended to help meet the financial needs of Marsal Education undergraduate and graduate students who encounter an emergency situation or one-time, unusual, or unforeseen expense during their degree program. We encourage students to seek support from Rackham Graduate School, CEW+, the Dean of Students. and the Office of Financial Aid prior to utilizing Marsal Education funding.

Awards may be awarded up to $1,500 each. Students should contact the Office of Financial Aid for help in evaluating specific individual financial circumstances.

Note: Students who qualify for and receive an Emergency Fund award may notice a reduction in other financial aid (grants, loans and/or work study). An international student, for whom support is granted, may have taxes taken out of the award (about 14% of the students' award).

The following funds are available to support your travel needs:

• David Lee and Anna Wu Angus International Travel Fund ($1,000)
• Heid Educators Abroad Scholarship ($1,000–$3,000)
• Professor and Mrs. Cho-Yee To Fund ($1,000–$4,000)
