Mo’s Fund

Mo’s Fund provides financial support to Moravian University students who are experiencing financial hardship. Mo’s Fund is supported by the charitable donations of alumni and friends of Moravian University who specifically want to support students facing unexpected financial challenges.

What is financial hardship?

Financial hardship is an unmanageable financial burden caused by unexpected adverse events.

What causes financial hardship?

Some causes of hardship are medical difficulties, death or job loss of a family member, fires, floods, or other disasters, or insupportable debt incurred for reasons beyond the individual’s control.

How many students are affected?

Approximately 25% of students who withdraw or take a leave of absence from Moravian do so for financial reasons.

How does Mo's Fund help?

Students experiencing a challenging time can apply for support through Mo’s Fund. They complete an application and their need is evaluated to receive a small grant to ease their financial burden.

Mo's Fund is an amazing opportunity at Moravian University. Receiving the money from Mo's Fund [when I was a student] helped my family afford my tuition during a difficult time.  It helped me tremendously and allowed me to continue my studies at Moravian University.”
