Your Questions Regarding the Academic Plan ANSWERED
Financial Aid COVID-19 Emergency Grant Program
The Emergency Grant will provide one-time financial assistance to currently enrolled ISMMS students who are unable to meet immediate essential expenses, because of current hardship related to COVID-19. The Grant amount will not exceed $5,000 per student, and will be dependent on individual circumstances and documented expenses.
The Emergency Grant is not financial aid and is not a loan. The Emergency Grant program is limited, and not all requests will be met with financial assistance.
Grants will be awarded on a rolling basis and available until the school’s allocation has been depleted. Students with immediate need should complete the ISMMS Emergency Request Form as soon as possible. Grant notifications will begin the week of Monday, May 4th.
If you had an emergency attributed to COVID-19, please complete the ISMMS Emergency Request Form. You may contact LaVerne Walker, Director of Student Financial Services, at laverne.walker@mssm.edu should you have any questions.
