In response to recent events, the UofM is working every day to meet student needs and has taken immediate action to ensure now more than ever that this remains a top priority to support our students. As students adjust to a remote learning environment and their new "normal", many cannot afford unexpected expenses such as affordable housing, food, and other essential needs. That's why The Jeni Stephens Lambuth Student Emergency Fund was specifically established to ease the financial burden of Tiger students.
This fund honors Lambuth Alumnae Jeni Stephen's memory and recognizes her commitment to caring for others by providing up to $500 to a qualifying student in need. Your gift can provide struggling students with funds for temporary housing, utility bills, groceries and more. The University of Memphis Lambuth Campus Community always has and always will pull together and rise to any challenge.
