Need help?

Contact the advocate on the closest campus for individual support accessing resources or applying for benefits like SNAP and WIC. The Student Advocacy Center (SAC) also offers case management, advising, textbook & child care scholarships, clothes and more for students with very little financial support. To have an advocate reach out to a student, complete this SAC referral form or request information here.
