LNESC Emergency Scholarship Fund

About the LNESC Emergency Scholarship Fund

The LNESC Emergency Scholarship Fund is a joint partnership between LNESC & Macy's to provide financial resources to deserving students facing economic hardship and immediate monetary need that, if not met, could result in an inability to complete classes or a degree program.

Emergency financial need resulting from the following will qualify students for funding:

• change in family income/support
• loss of job
• death of an immediate family member
• natural disaster
• pending eviction or home foreclosure
• burglary
• fire

*Poor financial choices do not constitute as emergency financial need (e.g. credit card debit, poor use of financial aid funding, personal loans to family or friends).

LNESC Emergency Scholarships are non-renewable and applicants cannot be recipients of other LULAC National Educational Service Centers (LNESC) Scholarships at the time of application. Award amounts vary based on need, but should not exceed $500 due to overwhelming number of applicants.
