The University of Michigan – Ann Arbor created a simple application for students to complete and submit if they would like to receive emergency grant support. The application includes all necessary instructions, including that students should provide a narrative explaining how the COVID-19 disruption to campus operations impacted their financial situation and detail their funding request by eligible expense category. Approved eligible expense categories include, but are not limited to food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and childcare. All eligible students were emailed of their eligibility and have the application available on their Student Self-Service page within Wolverine Access. Students are encouraged to set up direct deposit, so that if they receive an emergency grant payment receipt can be expedited. Applications are evaluated as they are received.
