✓ Other transportation needs

Resources Available

NOTE: This resource is only available to students who are currently experiencing a financial emergency and have exhausted other options. Resource utilization such as subsidized loans will be considered while making a determination. Short-Term Transportation Support is not to be used as a cost-savings strategy, and cannot replace Financial Aid resources.

Lyft Pass & Shell Gas Cards

Students can choose the support that best fits their needs in the Basic Needs Assistance Form.
