An unexpected expense of $500 or less shouldnโt force a student to pause their education. Weโre proud to celebrate the recipients of the 2026 TIAA Emergency Aid Microgrant, administered by NASPA.
The 2026 Emergency Aid Microgrant recipients include:
โข Allegany College of Maryland
โข Coastal Bend College
โข Doane University
โข Lincoln University of Pennsylvania
โข Montclair State University
This yearโs TIAA Emergency Aid Microgrant Initiative recognizes and awards five higher education institutions with $10,000 in financial support given directly to students, helping them address urgent needs such as housing, food, and transportation. These institutions are leveraging microgrants to maximize the impact of emergency aid programs and basic needs support to advance student persistence and success.
Through our engagement with these five campuses, NASPA is deepening our understanding of the landscape of emergency aid programs and what tailored support is needed for members leading this work.
