Crisis Financial Aid

Service Overview

Crisis financial aid is designed to help students through an unexpected, temporary financial crisis. By definition, a student's experiences are considered unexpected if they did not know that the situation was coming and could not have planned for it.

Crisis aid is not intended to cover overdue fees and debts from other University departments (e.g., tuition, student fees, residence fees, library fines, etc.), nor is it intended to cover on-going monthly living expenses beyond the immediate emergency. Students must be registered in classes to be considered for crisis aid.

If your application is approved, you need to have this setup before payment can be received. To set up Direct Deposit banking information with the University of Saskatchewan, please do so at the following link: Direct Deposit.
