Fort Lewis College is committed to helping our enrolled students reach their full potential and persist through graduation.

We understand when students can suddenly face different challenges, including the inability to secure housing, afford basic needs, find access to online learning resources, or sometimes unexpected expenses arise, making it hard for students to concentrate on academics. Unexpected expenses could be car repairs, emergency medical bills, or something out of the ordinary that you did not expect. *It is important to note that your College bill is not an UNEXPECTED expense and will not qualify.

In these situations, the Skyhawk Emergency Grant Committee may be able to help students cover these expenses with a one-time grant thanks to generous gifts from Fort Lewis College Foundation donors. Reviewing grant requests, we consider a student’s financial, academic, and disciplinary records, course load, and degree-seeking status.

Eligibility for Skyhawk Emergency Grant

To qualify for a Skyhawk Emergency Grant, you must be a current student taking courses at Fort Lewis College and have utilized all available funding sources.

The Skyhawk Emergency Grant opens a week after the fall/spring term begins and closes a week before classes end each semester.
