Tyler's Story
“This support means absolute peace of mind.”
When an unexpected delay in funding threatened his housing, Tyler found himself facing a situation no student should have to navigate while pursuing an education.
POWER provided emergency assistance to help stabilize his housing and give him the breathing room to refocus on his coursework, research and future.
Today, Tyler continues pursuing a path toward medicine, with the goal of one day addressing healthcare disparities and advancing health equity in his community.
A temporary financial hurdle shouldn’t derail a student’s future. POWER exists to make sure it doesn’t.
Our Programs
POWER’s programs are designed to intervene at critical moments and remove financial barriers that threaten a student’s ability to stay enrolled.
Emergency
Power Packs
Fast support for life’s essentials.
