Student Enrichment Services Winter Gear Program
FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS ONLY
SES provides winter gear to lower-income students who cannot afford outerwear that is sufficient for cold weather and snow. The Winter Gear program ONLY provides: 1 coat, 1 scarf/neck gaiter/balaclava, 1 pair of gloves, 1 hat, and 1 pair of boots. Winter Gear is a limited program, intended for students who would not have access to quality outerwear without the additional funding. Eligibility is based on financial need, as verified through the Office of Undergraduate Financial Aid.
Winter Gear is provided on a first-come, first-served basis. We advise that students plan ahead and apply as soon as possible.
How to Apply:
You must complete BOTH the General SES One Form Basic Profile (General application) AND the Winter Gear application. Students who have previously received Winter Gear are not eligible to apply again this year.
Important Reminders: Winter Gear is provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
Award Amount: 1 coat, 1 scarf/neck gaiter/balaclava, 1 pair of gloves, 1 hat, and 1 pair of boots. SES does not provide any other cold weather clothing.
