UNT Faculty and Staff Emergency Relief Fund

A contribution to the UNT Faculty and Staff Emergency Relief Fund can make a world of difference for members of our UNT community who are experiencing a temporary financial hardship that impacts their ability to meet immediate, essential expenses.

The fund offers financial assistance of up to $1,000 for qualifying UNT faculty and staff. To be eligible, an individual must:

  • Be an active, benefits- and retirement-eligible faculty or staff member

  • Have a temporary financial hardship because of an emergency situation
  • Have a base salary of less than $60,000

A temporary financial hardship is one caused by a specific event such as but not limited to:

  • Serious illness or critical injury
  • Loss of livable housing due to structural damages caused by fire or other natural disaster
  • Death of a family or household member
  • Significant loss of household income affecting the employee’s ability to pay for basic needs
