NTCSA Student Emergency Fund

Newman Theological College Students Association (NTCSA) recognizes that the plans of well-intentioned students do not always work out. As such, the NTCSA has established a financial aid fund available by application to current NTCSA members to assist in the case of emergency financial needs. This fund can be accessed once in a student’s tenure at Newman Theological College and all applications can be directed through the present NTCSA President and the Dean of Students.

Cecilia I. Johnstone Needs Emergency Fund

This fund was established in 2007 by the Estate of Cecilia Johnstone to assist female students experiencing a temporary financial crisis and who are unable to meet their basic living expenses in the short term. The Cecilia Johnstone Emergency Fund cannot be used to cover tuition or academic fees. A student may use this fund only once.

Process to Request Emergency Financial Assistance

To request assistance from either the “NTCSA Student Emergency Fund” or the “Cecilia I. Johnstone Needs Emergency Fund”, a student must send a letter or email to the President office at executive.assistant@newman.edu stating the amount of emergency financial assistance that they require and the reason for the request. The President will schedule a meeting with the President of the NTCSA to review and make a decision concerning the student’s request. A decision will be made based on the student’s need and the amount of funds available for distribution. Results of the decision will be sent to the student via email from the President’s office. The decision is final and cannot be appealed.

Students receiving emergency financial assistance must submit receipts demonstrating that the monies were used for the purpose for which they were requested.

Note:The names of students requesting emergency financial assistance are confidential. A record of the request will be held in a locked cabinet in Student Service. For more information about emergency financial assistance please contact the President’s Office at 780-392-2455 or executive.assistant@newman.edu.
