Started in 2020 by one of the At-Large Senators at the time and preceded by the Anteater Resilience Grant, the Anteater Safety Net Grant (ASNG) began as a COVID-19 grant to support students struggling financially due to the pandemic. Since then, the grant has shifted to serve students and help them succeed by providing them with funds to fulfill their basic needs! We’re excited to do the work to make sure that students thrive throughout their educational journey! Meet the members of the ASNG Committee below!
