Student Emergency Assistance

---

The WKU Opportunity Fund is a fundraising initiative created to remove barriers for access to education and provide emergency funding to students. The Opportunity Fund demonstrates to students and the communities in which we live what it means to be a member of the Hilltopper Family.

The Opportunity Fund can provide needs-based awards to WKU students for unexpected financial needs, including housing and meal assistance, loss of income, technology needs to complete courses, and other expenses as deemed appropriate. Each situation is reviewed and prioritized based on the available funding.

If you are experiencing a significant hardship, please complete the form below to request assistance. Requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. Students must have exhausted all federal aid options to qualify.
