TMAPS Emergency Grant

The Toronto Metropolitan Association of Part-time Students (TMAPS) offers an Emergency Grant for part-time degree and continuing education students at Toronto Metropolitan University. The goal behind this grant is to assist students who are experiencing unexpected and emergency financial situations. Typically grants are awarded on medical and compassionate grounds, such as in cases of serious illness, death of a family member, eviction, and layoffs. The grant is not intended to pay course tuition fees, ancillary fees, or course textbooks. Applications must demonstrate serious, emergency financial need due to unexpected circumstance that has recently occurred and is beyond their control. Supporting documentation is required to validate claims and the need for financial support. The program recognizes challenging seasons of winter and summer may compound on other life factors and cause life-threatening emergencies including but not limited to precarious housing and homelessness, unaffordable heating or cooling, health emergencies, and barriers acquiring essential items for individuals with mobility challenges.
