Basic Needs Microgrant
Small grants for graduate students' unmet basic needs
Small grants for graduate students' unmet basic needs
RSG designed the Basic Needs Microgrant program to provide short-term financial assistance to students for essential items. Funding is open to all graduate and professional student programs as funding permits.
We operate the Basic Needs Microgrant program near the middle to end of each winter semester, though this is subject to change in the future. Our program has been supported in the past by the Rackham Graduate School, Central Student Government, the Law School Student Senate, and the generosity of private donors.
You can check back here for updates on when the RSG Microgrant will be available. We'll also announce it on the RSG Instagram (@rackham_grads) and the RSG newsletter, which all active Rackham students receive.
