Support Student Success

Over 55% of Georgia State students are Pell-eligible, and over 70% have unmet financial need beyond their aid, loans, scholarships, and family contributions.

  2. Emergency Assistance GrantsFinancial assistance for basic household expenses (e.g., rent, childcare, transportation, etc.)
  3. Panther's Pantry: Distribution of food and hygiene products to address hunger among GSU students and their families
