Submit an emergency funding request
The CLA Emergency Fund was established in 2020 and is made possible by generous donor support. Our goal is to provide financial assistance to cover emergencies that are unforeseen and unrelated to the normal cost of attendance but may be a hindrance to your success at CSU.
To qualify, students must be enrolled within the College of Liberal Arts.

Application Process:
- Submit the form below, including any supporting documentation.
- Applications will be reviewed by a committee. If additional information is needed, you will be contacted by the committee. The committee may consult with the Office of Financial Aid to identify any additional financial resources.
- Applications may take up to 1 week to be reviewed.
- Students will be notified via their CSU email (provided below) regarding the award decision.
- If approved, funds will be disbursed via the method selected below (direct deposit, mailed check or held check).
- The maximum amount that will be awarded for emergency funding is $1,000.
Students can submit requests for emergency funding as often as needed, however, students who have had more than 2 requests previously granted by the committee should specifically discuss in their application additional extenuating circumstances related to their request. Additional requests beyond 2 per year are not as likely to be approved. If you continue to need assistance on a regular basis, we encourage you to connect with Student Case Management.
If you have any questions, please reach out to the Scholarship and Student Program Coordinator at CLA_scholarships@mail.colostate.edu.
