Hardship Fund

Tomasello-Millard BASE Economic Hardship Fund  

The Tomasello-Millard BASE Economic Hardship Fund is available to USF students who are unable to meet immediate, essential expenses due to a temporary financial hardship that may jeopardize their health, safety, academic performance and/or ability to stay enrolled at USF. Funds may be used for necessities such as rent, food security, unexpected expenses that jeopardize enrollment, etc.  Hardship Funds should not be requested for routine expenses. Hardship Funds also cannot be used for USF tuition or housing and meals. Students needing tuition assistance should instead apply for a BASE Donor Scholarship.
