 SHARE
Fund
In 2001, the Office of Student
Affairs initiated a student fund called SHARE--Student
Help and Relief Effort. The SHARE fund is intended
to provide financial assistance to students
for unanticipated expenses (e.g. prescriptions,
medical care) and expenses that are beyond student's
means for whatever reason (e.g., clothing, toiletries).
In some cases, this help can make the difference
for a student having to make a choice to stay
at AC or leaving the College. In other cases,
the help may allow a student to focus on academic
success rather than a specific barrier to that
success.
Applications
can be completed by any concerned party--faculty
or staff--on behalf of the student and submitted
to the SHARE committee. The referring staff
member is asked to continue as advocate in the
process so as not to require the student to
share his or her story again to the committee.
The faculty or staff member may be contacted
by a SHARE committee member for additional information
or clarification. The application
or referral may be made to any of the committee
members listed below. All information submitted
will remain confidential and limited to committee
members.
All requests for funding will
be considered as different students have different
needs. However, the fund is limited and in some
cases, such as requests for textbooks, the faculty
or staff member is strongly encouraged to explore
other possibilities with the student (library
reserve, desk copies, Academic Services textbook
library) before making a request on behalf of
the student.
Donations to the SHARE fund
are encouraged. Donations are tax-deductible
and should be made to Adrian College specifying
the SHARE fund as a restriction.
