As the COVID-19 virus has created uncertainty and altered plans for many, including students who are experiencing additional hardships as a result, many have been asking: How can I help? The strength of the GW community is in finding ways to support and care for each other, and the current circumstances are no different.
We will continue to update this page with more information on ways that our GW community can support each other through these challenging times.
GW Cares Student Assistance Fund
The GW Cares Student Assistance Fund provides critical support to GW students in need as a result of unexpected financial hardship, including needs resulting from COVID-19 prevention and response.
More than 750 students have received aid to help with transportation expenses, housing expenses, to offset income from lost jobs, and to be able to complete their schoolwork in a safe, secure environment.
