Emergency Funding

 

In the event of an emergency, or situation where you find yourself in need of emergency funding, you may seek assistance at the International Service and Engagement Office (ISEO). Please contact ISEO for more information about the UC San Diego Internal Loan programs below. Applications will be reviewed on an individual basis. Please keep in mind that funding is limited.
