Financial Support

托罗关怀补助金

The 托罗保健 grant provides assistance to students who are struggling with a personal crisis or an unforeseen situation. Qualified students are rendered assistance in the form of single, one-time awards. The 托罗保健 funding is not intended to provide ongoing relief for recurring expenses, and awards are not loans that students are expected to repay. The value of the award will range in response to the needs of the student and the availability of funding. Typical awards range up to $1,000 per student. Students may not receive more than one award unless there are extenuating circumstances.
