Make a direct impact on the lives of current students who need your assistance.

The Student Assistance Fund is a need-based resource that provides small awards to help eligible students cover the essential, indirect costs of an Emerson education. While tuition covers the classroom experience, this fund steps in to help with day-to-day necessities—including textbooks, course supplies, film development, printing, transportation, and food.

Established primarily through the generous support of Emerson’s own faculty and staff, this fund is a powerful testament to our community’s deep commitment to student success. Every gift provides immediate, practical relief, ensuring that financial hurdles never stand in the way of a student’s ability to thrive, create, and focus on their education.
