What is the Hardship Fund?
The Connie L. Lurie College of Education was established to help students with emergency financial need. Thanks to the generosity of other students, staff, faculty, and the community, Lurie College is able to provide this grant to support its students who have experienced an unforeseen financial hardship that will prevent them from continuing their enrollment at Lurie College and SJSU.
Since July 2019, the College has processed 176 awards for a total of $83,571. The awards had been fairly evenly split between undergraduate and graduate recipients.
Recipient Testimonial
"I am very grateful to have received the Hardship Grant! Because of the funding, the cost of gas for my internship has been covered which is really helpful for me. I'm really grateful that the Hardship Grant exists because it increases the equity for students who are financially insecure. Thank you so much to the committee and donors!"

Shared by HELM Program Co-Coordinator and Educational Leadership Assistant Professor, Liliana E. Castrellón, PhD
On March 19, 2024 the EDLD 215: Contemporary Issues in Higher Education Course held a social/mixer at the Mosaic Cross Cultural Center in the student union! The purpose of the event was so that our masters students could connect with students who use various cultural centers in the student union. A key topic in our course is the role of cultural centers and other resources for minoritized students on college campuses. As such, HELM students were able to connect with the cultural centers in the union and the students who utilize the centers. For their final course project HELM students will interview a student who attended the social/mixer, they will then analyze the student interview and connect it to our course content. Once they have completed the interview and analysis they will create a digital counterstory using Adobe Products. The event was a great turnout and a way for our graduate students to move beyond the classroom, to engage in practical learning and relationship building across campus.
