Relief fund for SUNY Maritime students

摘要

I am putting out a call for alumni to rally and lend a hand to address the growing education crisis faced by today's students at SUNY Maritime College at Fort Schuyler. For many of our students and their families, the economic devastation of Covid-19 means lost wages and,ultimately, the postponement or loss of their Maritime College education. When families have to choose between the basic necessities of food, housing and healthcare, expenses such as tuition, Sea Term and books quickly become unattainable luxuries. In light of these uncertain times, the college has established the One Hand Student Relief Fund to aid students who have experienced financial hardship as a result of Covid-19. The purpose of this fund is to provide a financial life line to any student who needs support with tuition, room, board, or Summer Sea Term costs. All gifts will be managed by the SUNY Maritime Foundation, an independent non-profit entity, and awarded through the college's financial aid programs.
