Financial barriers can negatively impact student success. To help students who are facing financial hardship during COVID-19, McMaster University created a student relief fund, providing immediate financial assistance to students who qualify for support.
Through an easily accessible online chat tool, available weekdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The student services team provides one-on-one support to help assess each student’s unique circumstance and financial situation and offers other financial aid advice.
To date, the fund has provided support to many students – those who are away from their families without support, are caring for dependents and in need of quarantine accommodations, food, rent, and utilities, and more.
