The coronavirus has been a heartbreaking ordeal for our nation, and Stony Brook student-athletes are not immune to the pandemic. In addition to being uprooted from their campus and having many of their sports seasons canceled, the crisis has created financial troubles and hardships for many of our student-athletes and their families.

The strength and generosity of the Seawolves community has been evident during these difficult times, as many of you have contacted us seeking opportunities to help our student-athletes. In response to your kindness, Stony Brook has set up a student emergency fund to support student-athletes that are facing extreme circumstances as a result of COVID-19.  

Money raised will go directly to assisting necessary expenses resulting from an illness to either the student-athlete or his/her family member(s). Other examples of expenses could include groceries, toiletries, academic supplies for online classes, or scholarships to support additional years of eligibility.
