What is the Emergency Fund?
The Emergency Fund is designed to assist Scholars with basic necessities, including Food, Housing, Utilities, Transportation (gas money or bus/train/plane -- not travel expenses), School fees, and DACA application fees.
Who can apply and how are funds distributed?
The Emergency fund is open to all active Scholars in the Empowerment Program.
Funds are distributed either via Check or AHS' CashApp; alternate means may be used depending on the situation and at the discretion of the organization.
