Do you know your rights?
Welfare Rights at EMU is a nationally recognized welfare rights union on the campus of Eastern Michigan University. We strive to provide information and advocacy services to low-income students and individuals on campus and in the community. More than 40% of students at Eastern receive some sort of need-based financial aid. If you are one of these students, you could be eligible for benefits and assistance. For instance, if you receive a Federal Work Study grant, you are automatically eligible to receive a Bridge Card (food stamps).
A college education is one of the few legal routes to financial independence. However, if you are struggling with the day-to-day costs of living, obtaining a college degree can be an almost impossible task. If you are struggling, please come in to our office to look through our "Low Cost, No Cost Survival Guide." And please, feel free to look through the links and resources we have compiled on this page.
If you don't know your rights,
you don't have any.
