Financial Aid & Emergency Funds

Chicago COVID-19 Hardship and Help Page
The Chicago COVID-19 Hardship and Help page was created by Chicago organizers Kelly Hayes and Delia Galindo to offer a simple way for people in the Chicago area to ask others for assistance during this crisis. Whether you are a parent whose income has dried up, a struggling freelancer, or enduring any other financial strife during this crisis, please feel free to share your story and ask for whatever financial help you need.
Care Coalition
CARE COALITION is a grassroots, diverse partnership of social and civic organizations and neighbors. We serve as a CONNECTOR between residents who NEED CARE with those who can GIVE CARE during the Coronavirus Crisis.
Pilsen Solidarity Network COVID-19 Support Form
If you would like food or other supplies dropped off at your front door, please use this form. We are an all-volunteer grassroots group operating in the Lower West Side (Pilsen/Heart of Chicago).

COVID-19 AND FORBEARANCE INFO FOR STUDENTS, BORROWERS, AND PARENTS

The Federal Student Aid is actively monitoring the new coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak. If you're concerned about your studies or loan repayment, please click here.

To provide relief to student loan borrowers during the COVID-19 national emergency, federal student loan borrowers can be placed in an administrative forbearance, which allows you to temporarily stop making your monthly loan payment. Read the borrower Q&As to learn more, and contact your loan servicer to find out your specific options.
