The Rhode Island College FAST Fund provides small grants to students with urgent financial needs, including: 1) medical expenses, 2) housing, food, and utilities, 3) child care, 4) car repairs and 5)book & school supplies. All of these things can pose a barrier to achieving an educational and personal goal.

While the FAST fund has given students small grants to address their needs, our available funds never match the need. Please consider making a recurring donation so that the fund continues to be able to help students. As we know, financial needs and emergencies don't follow a timeline.

The FAST (Faculty And Students Together) Fund is a partnership between Believe in Students and the institutional faculty and union members. Donations are tax deductible and 100% of the money goes to students.
