SAE Emergency Student Assistance Fund

We are all feeling the effects of COVID-19, touching our lives and altering our reality from day-to-day. And more changes are yet to come. One of the first areas to feel the fallout of this crisis is education due to the limitations placed on gatherings. In accordance with the decision of the Prime Minister, the Minister of Education, the Ministry of Health and the National Security Headquarters, we have had to discontinue the activities of our educational institutions. In response, we have launched sophisticated remote learning classes, both "live" classes via Zoom conferencing and other distant learning modules with distributed class materials or resources from the Internet. Since many of the students in SAE residences come from low-income families, the government-imposed requirement that the residences be closed and all students return home has placed a significant economic burden on many students and their families. Some lack the resources for even food and other basic necessities. In addition to the physical wellbeing, we also want to ensure the psychological welfare of our students. Our SAE Emergency Students Assistance Fund is enabling us to provide this much need support for our students throughout the country. Many questions still remain unanswered. However, what we do know, we will be dealing with this challenge for months to come. In order to maintain this level of support that they require, over time, we seek your support in replenishing this fund. Any level of support is appreciated.
