Spartans Basic Needs Support

大发彩票平台认识到,许多学生在课堂之外的生活中都会遇到挑战,这些挑战会给他们带来压力和焦虑, and those challenges can impact their academic performance. Challenges can include accessing enough food to eat every day, safe and stable housing, issues with childcare, family obligations, physical and mental health, unexpected bills or issues with accessing technology.

As a student, your safety, health and well-being are our primary concerns, and we want to be able to support you in any way that we can.

这个网站包含了我们校园和大发彩票平台服务的社区内的资源信息.

这不是当前产品的完整列表,将定期更新以反映服务的变化, resources and support. Please contact Tyler Strand or Lori Hinrichs with questions or if you have a resource to include.

You are not alone, and we will navigate these challenges together.

Bridge to Benefits

Bridge to Benefits Screening Tool 是明尼苏达州儿童保护基金会的一个项目,通过将家庭和个人与公共工作支持计划和税收抵免联系起来,来改善他们的福祉. By answering a few simple questions, 你将能够看到你或其他人是否有资格获得公共工作支持计划. They will NOT ask you for information that identifies you. It’s easy, confidential and free! NOTE: This screening tool does not determine eligibility. It is only a guideline. 使用此筛选工具后,您必须申请每个项目,以确保您符合资格.
