Rocket Aid
Emergency Financial Assistance for UToledo Students
The Rocket Aid Program offers emergency financial assistance to UToledo students who have experienced an unexpected financial hardship or other education-related emergency. Generally, students who receive Rocket Aid receive it only once per academic year. Funding is limited and the amount of funding provided may not cover the full cost of the request.
To be eligible for Rocket Aid, the applicant must meet the following criteria:
- Currently enrolled at least half-time in an eligible degree program at the University of Toledo
- Have accepted all offered financial aid, including federal student loans
- Demonstrate financial need by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
- If ineligible to file the FAFSA, submit documentation of financial need with the Rocket Aid application
- Academic standing and progress are considered during application review
Once the Rocket Aid application is submitted, it is reviewed to identify available options such as institutional and donor funding, financial planning assistance and other university and community resources.
