Many medical students are facing financial pressure related to tuition, housing, food and general life expenses. The COVID-19 crisis has only made these issues more significant. That is why the Alumni Foundation is partnering with the Upstate Foundation to raise funds for the Student Retention Emergency Fund. This fund will provide assistance to students who experience sudden and/or significant financial hardship that may impact their ability to remain in school.
Please note this is a separate restricted fund and different from the Alumni Annual Fund which supports scholarships, textbooks and many other necessary student programs
