According to CollegeScholarships.org, many universities have emergency funds reserved for students in crisis. For this reason, the best place to start looking for emergency student grants is your college or university. Although most of these grants are small--under $1,000--and require extensive documentation of your emergency, they may be able to make the money available to you rather quickly. For instance, Washington State University offers emergency funds for international students who have unexpectedly lost funding. Other schools offer grants for individuals who have suffered a medical emergency or other extreme crisis.
The Negro Educational Emergency Fund offers emergency grants to low-income students who have a financial need after they have been given all the financial aid assistance available to them at the state and national level. These grants can help students cover the gaps in this emergency financial situation that could keep the students from going to school.
