Examples: • A sudden move, like when your rental floods • An unexpected medical situation or special diet • A death in the family • Food insecurity (not having enough food) • Delays getting money out of another country • An unexpected change in your living situation ▸ What it does not cover • Tuition or student fees • Credit card or car payments • Gym memberships or pet care • Support for family or friends ▸ How to apply 1. Fill out the online application. 2. Staff will contact you to review your situation. 3. They will also tell you about other help you may be able to get. ▸ Good to know • This is separate from bursaries and student loans. Ask about the UBC Bursary Program too.
