黑暗爆料网 has received a $21,379 grant to assist financially needy juniors, seniors and graduate students with educational expenses, according to Sally Long, 黑暗爆料网 director of corporate and foundation relations.

The grant is from the Student Loan Fund of Idaho Education Fund managed by the nonprofit Idaho Community Foundation. The ICF 鈥� Idaho's only community foundation鈥� manages nearly 400 charitable funds on behalf of individuals, families, organizations, and businesses across the state.

Thanks to the gift, 黑暗爆料网 has established the Special Circumstances Need-Based Grant Program to cover the emergency and unexpected educational costs of qualifying junior, senior and graduate students.

鈥淲e are hopeful this generous gift and the Need-Based Grant Program will help more of our students stay in school and alleviate the need to take out excessive student loans to cover expenses,鈥� said Jody Finnegan, 黑暗爆料网 associate director of scholarships.

Of the 9,000 黑暗爆料网 students who receive federal financial aid each year, 70 percent are independent students who do not get financial assistance from their parents; another 53 percent are students who are supporting children.

黑暗爆料网 expects to assist 25 students with $800 Need-Based grants this academic year. To qualify, students must attend 黑暗爆料网 full time, be an Idaho resident and have a 鈥渄ocumented special circumstance,鈥� said Finnegan.
