The Student Emergency Fund provides financial assistance to BSU students who are in danger from withdrawing during a semester due to unanticipated, temporary financial hardships resulting from emergency or crisis situations (e.g., accident, illness, death of a family member).

The Steven Nelson Memorial Fund provides financial assistance if you are experiencing a financial hardship related to coming out (i.e. LGBTQIA+) during your time at Boise State.
