Dear Students,
CEU’s Emergency Fund will start accepting requests from October 23, 2020, when students facing unexpected financial hardship related to covid-19 will be able to apply for support. A committee of faculty, staff and students will evaluate the requests and allocate the funds. The committee will be able to allocate grants of up to 500 EUR in total per student (exceptions can be granted in extraordinary circumstances). Academic departments may also use their own funds to support students but should do so by liaising with this committee.
The Committee meets once a month, with the first meeting scheduled for the beginning of November. The deadline for submitting applications for the first meeting is Friday, November 6. Please note that processing decisions may take additional time.
The following types of requests will be considered by the Emergency Fund Committee:
- Emergency travel
- Emergency lodging or temporary shelter
- Assistance with IT equipment and resources to support remote learning
- Assistance with purchasing medication purchases not covered by insurance
- Assistance with purchasing food supplies
Process:
Students should fill in the application form to submit a request with the Emergency Fund Committee. Describe the circumstances and reasons for the request along with receipts and other supporting documents such as:
- current bank statement (necessary)
- current income statement (necessary)
- letter of support from department head (necessary)
- letter of support from the Medical Center
- documentation certifying emergency travel
Ensure the supporting documents are labelled in the correct format before submitting (last name_first name_document name)
