Staff Help Assistance & Relief Effort
From the moment you step on the Cardinal campus as a new staff member, walk down the hallways, offices, or labs, meet new friends…you immediately become one of our family. As part of that family, you enter a community of caring that goes beyond meetings and deadlines and work goals. We care for one another. That is one of the core principles of who we are as University of Louisville.
Like loving families, we are there for one another in times of happiness and sorrow, triumphs and troubles. So when you need help, we want you to know about SHARE, the Staff Help Assistance Relief Effort Program.
When you experience temporary financial hardship due to an emergency, we are here to help. You can apply for financial assistance after a house fire or tornado, medical emergency or extended illness, death in your immediate family or other emergency situation.
Your application request is eligible for an award up to $500* and can be submitted up to twice a year, or as one-time lump sum of $1000.
The process to apply is kept completely confidential.
View the guidelines to apply.
