The Seton Hall Student Assistance Program is available to all students enrolled at the University at all campuses. It is made possible through the generosity of donors to the Jay Roczynski Student Emergency Fund and a grant from the Strategic Plan Fund.

The purpose of the Student Assistance Program is to support students who encounter an unexpected, unavoidable situation that is impacting their ability to be successful in their academic pursuits and they are seeking short-term, one-time assistance to aid them. Such situations may be a medical/accident incident, transportation issue, loss of belongings due to a fire or flood, unexpected cost of textbook, etc. The Student Assistance Fund does not assist with the cost of tuition or fees and is only available after the student has exhausted all other means of resources. In addition, the aid may come in a variety of forms, including grants and campus or community resources.

The average amount of any financial grant from the Student Assistance Program normally will not exceed $500. Not every request is funded, and all funding is subject to the availability of funding.
