Useful information from the Dean of Students:

I hope you are doing well. I would like to take this opportunity to inform you of a support service available to our Hunter students. Through the Petrie Foundation and the Division of Student Affairs, our office is able to provide financial assistance to students with short-term financial emergencies to enable them to remain in school. Emergencies include, but are not limited to, loss of employment, death in the family, homelessness, fire in the home, evictions, medical issues, or inability to keep up with daily living expenses. These funds are considered an emergency grant and students are not expected to pay them back to the College.

We understand that your faculty and staff are often the first point of contact for students in financial distress. We greatly appreciate your assistance in identifying and referring students in need of this kind of support. Please refer students to the attention of:
