  <title><![CDATA[Student Emergency Funding Now Available]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The Division of Student Life, the Alumni Association, and the Office of Development are partnering to collect and distribute emergency funding through the Georgia Tech Parents Fund and Roll Call to support students in need.</p>

<p>This fund has been established to support Tech students who have a demonstrated financial need related to the COVID-19 crisis and campus closures. Funding is available to all enrolled Georgia Tech students and can be used to alleviate financial challenges resulting from the current public health crisis, including travel assistance, housing assistance, medical expenses, moving costs, financial support, food insecurity, and much more.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Students in need of financial assistance should <a href="https://gatech.campuslabs.com/engage/submitter/form/start/394732">complete the application form</a>, and the Office of the Vice President and Dean of Students will contact them to coordinate the assistance through the Office of Financial Aid. The maximum amount of each grant is $1,000.</p>

<p>Funds are limited but are currently being raised. Parents looking to support this fund can make a gift through <a href="https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1481/parents-2/parents-index.aspx?sid=1481&amp;gid=2&amp;pgid=432&amp;cid=1129">the Georgia Tech Parents Fund</a>. Alumni can make a gift&nbsp;through <a href="https://c.gatech.edu/3drwlLg">Roll Call</a>. And faculty and staff can make a gift by visiting the <a href="http://https://development.gatech.edu/">Office of Development website</a>, clicking on Give Now, and entering Student Relief Fund in the space for &quot;other designation.&quot;</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
