Do you support the continued funding of $3.05 (of the $3.05 collected, $2.50 goes to the program, $0.01 is for the AS fee, $0.09 is for the administrative assessment, and $0.45 is for Return to Aid) per undergraduate student per quarter (fall, winter, spring) and $2.50 (of the $2.50 collected, $2.27 goes to the program, $0.01 is for the AS fee, $0.10 is for the administrative assessment, and $0.12 is for Return to Aid) for summer quarter for E.O.P? If reaffirmed, the fee would be subject to reaffirmation every two years as mandated by the AS constitution.
Pro Statements
The reaffirmation of this fee will fund the AS/EOP Grant. This grant directly supports EOP students in the event of irregular, unforeseen expenses up to $1000. Students may also be eligible for an additional amount in dire circumstances. Last year (2023-24) we issued over 400 grants, with an average amount of about $530. These grants can be applied towards emergency rental assistance, medical expenses not covered by insurance (including dental and optical expenses), graduate exam testing, exam registration costs, or graduate program application fees. They can also be applied to lost, stolen, or damaged textbooks or laptops. Reaffirming this fee will allow us to continue supporting our students in these cases of unexpected financial hardship.
