The ongoing federal government shutdown has created challenges for some in our campus community, and Student Life anticipates heightened demand at Minerva’s Market. Under Dr. Javier Flores’s leadership, the Offices of Financial Aid and CARE are identifying and assisting impacted students. Eligible students receiving certain federal benefits will automatically receive a one-time $500 grant. Only those who qualify will receive a direct notification.
