EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE

Getting by while in college can be a challenge, and sometimes an unexpected expense comes up that you can’t avoid.  That’s where these emergency funds come in.

These limited funds are intended to assist students in emergency situations. 

How to determine if it is an emergency

  • It is unanticipated in nature or the result of another unanticipated expense and not the result of poor planning.
  • It is not recurring by nature.

If you are experiencing an unforeseen financial emergency, please complete the Emergency Assistance Application.

You can find the application through your WolfWeb Student Portal. Once you have signed in, click on the BMCC Foundation tab then click the Emergency Assistance Dashboard.
