RHC Emergency Fall Award

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Roberto Hernández Center (RHC) has established the Latino Student Fund as a source of emergency funding for currently enrolled Latino/a/x students who face unexpected expenses that affect their continued pursuit of an undergraduate degree. The overall goal of the Latino Student Fund is to increase the number of Latino/a/x students successfully graduating from UWM.

Please be advised that receipt of an Emergency Scholarship can be interpreted as taxable income. If you are awarded money through an Emergency Scholarship, you may receive a 1099 form at the end of the year indicating that the amount of your award is being counted as part of your income. If this occurs, you will be responsible for reporting that income to the IRS.
