Student Emergency Loans
Through the generosity of a corporation, Skidmore College has available for students
an emergency loan fund, administered through the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs.
Purpose
To provide full-time Skidmore students with loans from $25 up to $300 for short term
emergency purposes. Such purposes include, but are not limited to:
- text books and course supplies
- unexpected medical costs
- emergency transportation needs
Guidelines
- Individuals applying for loans must be full-time, matriculated Skidmore students with currently valid ID's.
- Students may receive only one Student Emergency Loan.
- Minimum loan amount is $25.
- Loans will not exceed $300 and must be repaid by the agreed upon date, not to exceed the end of the semester in which they were received.
- Students are not granted loans for rent.
- Loans are not disbursed during the summer.
- Students are ineligible for Student Emergency Loans if:
- they have failed to repay previous Student Emergency Loans on time, or
- have a current outstanding Student Emergency Loan.
Application and Repayment Procedures:
- Students apply for a Student Emergency Loan through the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs, third floor, Case Center. A current Skidmore ID must be presented at the time of application.
- Approved Student Emergency Loan fund applications are disbursed via check to the student or through electronic refund if set up in E-Bill.
- Repayments are made in the Bursars Office during regular hours. Students should clearly identify repayments as belonging to the Student Emergency Loan Fund so that their accounts can be properly credited.
Note: The continued availability of this fund depends on students repaying their loans
in full by the agreed upon date.
