The UIC United Faculty FAST Fund provides small grants to students with urgent financial needs, including:

• medical expenses

• housing, food, and utilities

• child care

• car repairs

• book & school supplies

In the past 2 years, the FAST fund has given out more than $22,000 in small grants to 99 students. Still, our available funds never match the need. We need donors to make recurring donations so we can continue to help UIC students each year.

“The support provided by the UICUF Fast Fund is critical in order to pursue my education by helping me stay focused in my academics, and not having to worry about another past due bill for the month.” - FAST Fund recipient
