MISSED CMU'S ANNIVERSARY? GIVE A GIFT HERE!
Student Emergency Fund

Help CMU students through difficult times

Life is full of twists and turns, events that can threaten a student’s college education. At CMU, our Student Emergency Fund is there when our CMU students need a boost, often allowing them to stay in school through difficult circumstances. 

Sometimes our students are faced with unexpected family emergencies or job changes that put them up against both emotional and financial obstacles. 


Meet a scholarship recipient

Jace Parker has a bachelor's degree in Child Development from CMU. "In 2018, my biological mother cut me out of her life entirely—that meant in every single way, including financially." The Student Emergency Fund was there to help Jace "shift the stress of finances to a focus on academics." Your donation to the SEF today will have a lasting impact on a student like Jace in need.



Thank you for joining the celebration!
