快播视频 is launching a fundraising campaign to establish the York Emergency Student Support Fund, which will provide essential financial support to those impacted by global conflicts and crises.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

快播视频 is an exceptionally diverse community, with students and scholars from around the world. Consequently, current and prospective members of the university community may be impacted by global conflicts and crises in several ways, including but not limited to involuntary displacement, destruction of homes, and loss of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, York is launching a fundraising campaign to establish the York Emergency Student Support Fund<\/a><\/strong>, which will provide essential financial support to those impacted by global conflicts and crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYork is a supportive, inclusive, and caring environment that delivers superior student support and services,\u201d says Susana Gajic-Bruyea, Vice-President Advancement. \u201cWhen situations arise that put students at risk or in any kind of jeopardy, York endeavours to support them in many ways, including financially. Our goal with this fund is to enhance the financial support available to students when they need it most.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fund will help support students affected by conflicts, such as the ones currently happening in Ukraine, Afghanistan and Syria, natural disasters, and other geopolitical events and crises. Specific criteria will be available once the fund is established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe York Emergency Student Support Fund will provide essential support to these students on an as-needed basis,\u201d says Gajic-Bruyea. \u201cWith the support of donors, the fund will help ensure the most at-risk and affected students can pursue or continue their education safely and with much-needed financial support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
