The Pacific Fund – Student Emergency Needs is a vital lifeline for students facing sudden, unforeseen financial hardship—challenges that can derail their education and stability in a moment’s notice. Whether it’s emergency transportation, medical care, unexpected bills, or basic necessities, this fund ensures students don’t have to choose between overcoming a crisis and continuing their education.
Here's how one student directly benefited by Pacific's student emergency needs fund:
After the devastating fires in Southern California in January, one of our students, Samuel, was forced to flee his neighborhood with his family. Thanks to the Emergency Fund, Samuel received immediate support to replace essential items like clothing, school supplies, and personal care products—allowing him to return to class and focus on his future.
"My family and I are incredibly grateful and cannot express just how thankful we are that I am at such a supportive and generous university that truly cares about their students beyond just numbers and reputation. I even feel like the University of the Pacific is my second family, ready to help in any way, big or small."
Your support makes stories like Samuel’s possible. Together, we can ensure no Pacific student faces an emergency alone.
