In addition to this, BGSA maintains a separate emergency fund eligible only for biology graduate students. This fund is intended to provide more immediate and flexible support for urgent needs, such as unforeseen medical expenses or other critical circumstances.
Biology graduate students facing sudden economic hardship that may impact their ability to strive academically in their research, coursework, or basic needs are encouraged to reach out. To apply or request more information, please contact the current BGSA President or Vice President.
