UArts Cares Fund During Covid-19

The UArts Cares Fund was established to ensure that the most vulnerable members of our student community have access to nutrition, housing, transportation and the supplies necessary to succeed at UArts. 

UArts Cares has worked with partners across campus to open a food pantry and provide grocery store gift cards, provide SEPTA passes, offer academic and art supplies, and give emergency monetary grants and housing assistance.  

Now, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many students are facing immediate hardship, including housing insecurity, food insecurity and/or a significant loss of income that could impact their ability to successfully complete the spring 2020 semester.

In response to immediate student need, the UArts Cares Fund has expanded its mission to include those hit the hardest by COVID-19. To support our most vulnerable students, the University is expanding the UArts Cares Fund to include newly created scholarships, work-study replacement funding, and specific impact grants to both current and incoming students. Any UArts student facing hardship can apply for support through an online application.

Make a gift to help vulnerable students now.

I would be overwhelmed without this support. I am extremely grateful for all the assistance that UArts Cares has provided me. Thank you so very much!
