Additional Info
The average college student often manages their expenses through a combination of part-time work, a modest student loan, and a bit of savings. One unforeseen event is all it takes to drastically alter a student’s financial landscape. Suddenly, they face substantial expenses that exceed their current budget, leading to a shortfall that makes it difficult to cover essential costs like tuition, rent, and groceries.
The Kelley School of Business Indianapolis Student Emergency Fund helps bridge the gap created by this unexpected burden through emergency scholarship relief, providing students with crucial help as they navigate this challenging period in their lives. A gift today will go to this initiative and provide essential financial funding to a Kelley Indianapolis student in desperate financial crisis.

Your giving matters
When someone is in a tight financial situation, any unexpected cost, no matter how small, can become a very real threat. Even something as simple as a need to replace a broken cell phone can cost at least a couple hundred dollars and leave a student to worry whether they will be able to afford their next meal, not to mention their textbooks and classes. Those are the students we seek to support with these funds.
