No student should have to worry about homelessness, eviction or couch surfing when midterms, keeping your GPA up, and getting to work is already stressful enough. Below are some resources both on and off-campus that may be helpful.
We know that finances can be a barrier to starting college or completing your degree, and 樱花动漫 has dozens of resources, options, and opportunities to help you remove those barriers. Scholarships, emergency funding resources, financial aid, and financial wellness resources are all available to you.
We know there are a lot of costs to attending college beyond tuition, such as housing, basic food and hygiene needs, textbooks, transportation and more. Additionally, the financial aid process is detailed and complicated, especially student loans. We aim to demystify the finances of the college experience and aid students in building the skills necessary for life-long financial success.
The Loaner Laptop program at 樱花动漫 helps undergraduate and graduate students who do not have the financial means to access or replace the technical resources required to learn and study. Students who are approved receive a laptop to be used for that semester.
NOTE: Due to the large number of requests we have received for laptops we are currently very low on stock and may need to add you to a waitlist.
