Contact Information by College

College students can qualify for assistance with food, housing, healthcare, utilities, and more. Most colleges have an office where students can go for help with these basic needs, and the office is usually called Student Services or Student Affairs. Benefits Navigators in these offices can help you find and apply for resources to help you cover the basics. 

We know applying for basic needs benefits can be confusing, and your college is here to support you. Get help from your college:
