Doctoral and Master’s Program Emergency Funding

From time-to-time special circumstances arise that require special funding. The College of Engineering and/or the Rackham Graduate School have limited funds to help in such cases. The Rackham Graduate Student Emergency Fund is intended to help meet the financial needs of Rackham graduate students who encounter an emergency situation or one-time, unusual, or unforeseen expenses during their degree program.

The College of Engineering Graduate Student Emergency Fund follows the Rackham funding guidelines and is intended to help meet the financial needs of any Michigan Engineering graduate student who encounters an emergency situation or one-time, unusual, or unforeseen expenses during their degree program. Emergency funding requests can be made to the Associate Dean for Graduate & Professional Education by the graduate chair or her/his designee, the College of Engineering Office of Student Affairs, or the Rackham Graduate Student Resolution Officer. Students who would like to discuss emergency funding issues confidentially should contact:

  • Rackham Students: Director of Graduate Student Programs and Consultation Services ([email protected], 734-764-4400)
  • M.Eng or Rackham Students: Angie Farrehi ([email protected], 734.615.1405), College of Engineering Director of the Michigan Engineering C.A.R.E. Center. 

To request emergency support, the graduate chair or his/her designee should submit a CoE-Student-Financial-Assistance-Request to Tiffany Porties ([email protected]).
