The Emergency Fund is not intended for:

  • Recurring expenses such as rent, groceries, or utilities

  • Tuition or textbooks

  • Conferences or professional development

  • Planned or non-urgent expenses

  • Ongoing financial support

*If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies, please contact the RCSA President.
