财务状况及资源
We make every effort to support students’ financial well-being—the ability to successfully manage expenses and meet short- and long- term financial goals within an established budget and current resources. At times, students experience unanticipated situations or face difficult circumstances that interfere with their financial well-being and academic success. This website serves a resource to students and families for initiatives and information to enhance students’ financial well-being.
Professional staff throughout campus are also available to assist with access to emergency resources and support for financial emergencies, 粮食或住房不安全, emotional hardship, 或者任何影响学生健康的问题.
托尼·蒙特福斯科学生紧急基金
副院长兼住宿生活和住房主任托尼·蒙特福斯科离职后, 谁为RWU服务了26年, 以他的名义成立了一个学生应急基金. This fund is designed to assist students facing unanticipated and compelling circumstances that interfere with their ability to continue or thrive at RWU.
托尼捐献了他最后一份薪水来成立这个基金. 还有教职员工的额外贡献, staff, 和大学的朋友们, 学生在紧急情况下可获得有限的经济支持, special programs, test prep, supplies, and books. These funds do not have to be repaid but the University hopes that one day when a beneficiary of this support is in a position to pay this forward, they will. 在校生在用尽所有其他资源后，方可申请资助. Consider making a contribution to the student emergency fund to support students' ability to thrive at RWU!
