CEHD Student Resilience Fund
The CEHD Student Resilience Fund is designed to support students facing financial hardships that hinder them from completing their degree in the College of Education and Human Development. This fund provides assistance with current essential needs such as textbooks, class fees, account balances, campus parking fees, technology, and more.
I’m very thankful for the opportunity to have been an educator for 32 years at Kalamazoo Public Schools, and because of the college education I was able to receive and the money I earned in my career, I feel it’s my responsibility to give back to WMU.
