The Student Emergency and Equity Fund (SEE) is a collaborative effort between the Lindenwood Center for Diversity and Inclusion and the Office of Advancement. This initiative provides students from historically underrepresented populations with financial assistance for significant, unforeseen, unavoidable emergencies and unexpected expenses.

Emergencies or unexpected expenses can include but are not limited to illness, food insecurity, travel costs for a family emergency, or loss of essential personal belongings due to theft or natural disaster. 

Ideally, the SEE Fund will help remove those financial-based barriers that often stand in the way of our students being able to take advantage of all that a Lindenwood education has to offer, both inside and outside the classroom. The essential goal is to create the conditions for a more diverse, equitable and inclusive Lindenwood University.

Applications for SEE Fund grants are reviewed by a committee of professionals from Lindenwood’s Center for Diversity and Inclusion. 

Gifts to the SEE Fund build on Lindenwood’s commitment to opening doors to higher education and help further one of our core, strategic initiatives- Diversify the Pride.
