Emergency funding

Students with temporary critical financial need due to unforeseen circumstances, or delays in funding beyond their control, may be eligible for an emergency loan.

This funding program is most useful when a student loan disbursement date does not match up with a tuition installment deadline and the timeline falls outside the 30-day Tuition and Fee Deferral window.

Eligibility

  • has evidence of approved funding sufficient to cover the cost of the loan
  • has exhausted all other financial resources
  • progressing satisfactorily in the program
  • has no outstanding debt to the university

How to apply

To apply, complete the emergency funding application form and submit to RRU's Financial Aid and Awards office.

Applications will be assessed on a rolling basis and the selection committee will determine the appropriate type of funding to offer, depending on individual circumstances and how much funding is available.

Allow roughly three weeks for the application to be reviewed and funding issued, if approved.
