The Marion Emergency Student Relief Fund supports any Ohio State Marion student in financial emergency situations on a case-by-case basis. These funds help eligible students pay for unforeseen expenses and to remove barriers to student and academic success. These funds are disbursed during extenuating circumstances. Other funds are also available for books and supplies in situations where students cannot afford to purchase those items. Student applications and award amounts are reviewed by a campus committee in consultation with Ohio State Marion Financial Aid. Student funds can only be awarded within cost of attendance. Funds shall not be used as regular annual scholarship awards and thus we can't cover tuition and fees.  Funds are not guaranteed, as they are based on availability and a committee review of the situation. 

 

Please be as specific as possible so the committee can review as quickly as possible. The more information, detail, and supporting documentation you provide, the more likely you are to be approved for funds. This form is not HIPAA compliant, so please don't include any private medical/health documents if you are not comfortable with doing so. 

 

Note that this application does not save if you leave it, so please prepare to enter answers and upload any supporting documentation all at once.
