The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) Basic Needs Funding application is now closed. We appreciate your patience as we follow up with all current St. John’s students who have applied. All decisions will be made before the start of Spring Break (Monday, February 28, 2022). Please see the additional resources listed below if you are currently experiencing food insecurity.

Recently, food insecurity among university students has received increasing local and national attention. A student’s inability to consistently obtain nutritious food is a potentially serious health issue.

If you are experiencing food insecurity, or know of a student who is, please refer to the information below for resources available to help support St. John’s University students.
