Short Term Loans
This option is available to current students during the quarter they are attending. This is a loan from Evergreen that allows students to borrow up to $400. This loan cannot be used for living costs between quarters.
Students will be charged a $15 origination fee and a $2 service fee for a total of $17 that is paid back when the loan is due. The loan is due 30 days from the date the loan is made or by the end of the quarter; whichever comes first. The form is located on the Financial Aid page under "Emergency Aid Application."
Emergency Fund (Gift Aid)
Emergency Fund gift aid is available to students with an unexpected financial crisis that would cause the student to not complete the term or continue their education. This generally cannot be used to pay a charge owed to Evergreen. This is limited to $500 per academic year (Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer) and cannot exceed your cost of attendance. The rule limiting students to one emergency grant or loan per academic year has been lifted as of Spring 2020, and is subject to change. The form is located on the Financial Aid page under "Emergency Aid Application."
