Pack Essentials
NC State and campus partners have developed many programs to support students in need of food, housing, financial, and educational security.
Students who are experiencing challenges due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) should submit a CURE 2 Emergency Grant application available on the Financial Aid tile in the My Pack Portal. Learn more about the eligibility requirements.
Students not eligible for support under the CURE 2 Emergency Grant Program may apply for funding from the Pack Essentials Student Emergency Fund. Please note that we are processing applications as quickly as possible but response times may be longer than usual. Please only submit one application per student.
