Announcements from Weekly MSG Scoop:
Wednesday, May 22
VCU Student Emergency Fund. The VCU Student Emergency Fund is designed to provide students with one-time financial assistance for unexpected emergency expenses that interfere with their progress toward a degree. Please note that the maximum amount that can be approved is $500. Long-term needs can be addressed by meeting with the Dean of Students office or Financial Aid to determine available options. Please note funds may count as income, may be subject to federal and/or state taxes and may affect your financial aid package. More information is here.
Student Life and Learning Fund. This fund provides grants and loans to students impacted by COVID-19. Students can request an application by visiting the website for Strategic Enrollment here.
University Counseling Services. Students can schedule an appointment to speak with university counseling starting next week. Please note that all appointments will be via phone due to COVID-19 until further notice. Please see this website for more information.

SFMA Pulse. Read the latest edition of the family medicine student-run newsletter here. This month's Pulse features a broad range of COVID-19 information, from how it has affected Family Med preceptors to the RVA Latinx community. It also includes a summary of M4 advice from the Family Medicine Match Zoom call held in April as well as additional thoughts from a couple of our now-graduated M4s! Thank you so much to the M4 graduates who responded to our survey and for all that you've done over the past four years. We are so proud and grateful for you!
