In late February or March, Stanford receives a preliminary notification of the FWS allocation. The FAO determines the amount to be used for undergraduate students and graduate students in some schools. The One-Time Emergency Grant is available only to doctoral students who incur unusual and extraordinary housing expenses, such as immediate relocation resulting from an increase in rent, overlapping rental payments, or excessive housing costs due to a flood or fire. Must have basic support covered from another source These grants are not intended to be used as complete support for students whose other sources of aid have ceased, nor can grants be made for routine costs associated with graduate study, such as thesis preparation. Preference in awarding will be given to students who have made satisfactory academic progress, are well advanced in their program, and have established an expected degree date.
Every effort is made to keep the circumstances confidential.
Only the faculty advisor, who must submit a statement regarding the student's academic status, need know of the request. Students in the HCP have been admitted to a graduate degree program and have full access to the University's classes and services. All Rights Reserved.
