Emergency aid available for ETSU staff
When catastrophic events strike, support can make all the difference.
East Tennessee State University is providing emergency assistance to its staff through
the Community Benevolence Committee Fund, an initiative aimed at helping employees
navigate severe, unexpected hardships.
The CBC Fund offers emergency grants of up to $200 to eligible full-time and part-time
ETSU staff members. The support is intended for those facing crises such as floods,
fires or other devastating situations – not for managing routine financial needs.
The application process is straightforward. Complete the application, and then submit it to Dan Bishop, director of the Office of Military and Veteran Services and chair of the Staff Senate’s
Community Benevolence Committee. And if anyone would like to donate to the fund, please
also contact Bishop.
Since its inception in 1911, East Tennessee State University has been committed to
improving the quality of life for the people of the region and beyond. Central to
this mission is the belief that people come first. Bucs Rebuild Together, the university’s
response to the devastation from Hurricane Helene in the region, reflects ETSU’s continuing
commitment to supporting our communities in times of need. Through collaborative efforts,
we are dedicated to helping rebuild, embodying our core values of service, excellence
and compassion. Learn more at etsu.edu/response.
