Loving Lynx Fund

Help When You Need It

Loving Lynx is an emergency funding resource available to CU Denver students dealing with unanticipated events including accidents, medical or dental emergencies, natural disasters, or a need for temporary housing. If you are unsure if your situation constitutes as an unanticipated event, we encourage you to contact the Dean of Students Office to discuss your situation.

Receiving Loving Lynx funds could impact a student's current financial aid package. Contact Financial Aid for any questions about this possible impact. All additional campus and community resources and solutions will be explored and exhausted before Loving Lynx funds are allocated.
