The Drake Law Women have an emergency fund to help students with unexpected financial need. This is not a gender specific fund. The Emergency Fund application process is an anonymous process, so when a student needs an emergency grant, they must complete an application and turn it in to Emily Flemming in Cartwright Room 128. Applications are available on Drake Law Women's TWEN page.
Remember: All faculty and staff members are here to support you and can refer you to the most appropriate Drake contact to address your needs.
