Establishing a Culture of Giving

Student Emergency Fund

Student Emergency Funds are given once to students whose future at A-State may be in jeopardy and have demonstrated a need for temporary financial assistance outside of student tuition and fees. SEF assistance is made possible through the Student Emergency Fund.

Philanthropy Cup Competition

The Philanthropy Cup Competition (PCC) was established by the Student Philanthropy Council in 2017 as a way for A-State organizations to help raise money for the Student Emergency Fund (SEF), which helps students that find themselves in financial distress by providing funds up to $500 to those in need.
