Wright State University has implemented several different initiatives to help students impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
The school has launched the Student Emergency Relief Campaign that has been created through the Wright State University Foundation.
The campaign seeks to help students struggling with food, housing, lost wages, mental health, finances and education through fiscal support to several funds that help in these areas.
Wright State is also working on a plan for funds from the CARES Act, the federal stimulus bill, to help provide additional financial assistance or relief for students.
Plans should be announced next month regarding the federal assistance, according to Steve Sherbet, university bursar and director of treasury services.
“We want to try and be friendly and helpful to our students knowing they’re facing challenges right now,” Sherbet said. “We’re really trying to look out for our students and do everything we can to help them out and encourage them to continue to attend.”
