COVID-19 Grants for University of Baltimore Students
The UB Office of Financial Aid and Office of Student Support have partnered with Institutional Advancement and numerous alumni and supporters to establish a network of resources.
UB CARES Grant
The UB CARES Grant is provided by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) to support students who have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This funding is available through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Due to ED regulations, students must be eligible for federal funding in order to qualify.
University of Baltimore Student Emergency Assistance Fund
The University of Baltimore Student Emergency Assistance Fund was developed by the Offices of Student Support and Financial Aid in partnership with Institutional Advancement and numerous generous alumni and supporters to establish a network of support for students. This fund helps ensure UB students have access to the support and resources they need to successfully recover from the unexpected transition associated with COVID-19 pandemic. The goal is to prevent a small emergency or unexpected expense from derailing a student’s progress towards their degree. COVID-19 has inevitably caused disruption, disappointment, and logistical and financial challenges for our students. This grant is open to all students, including those that do not qualify for the UB CARES Act due to federal requirements.
