Trocaire College’s Sister Sally Walz, RSM Student Emergency Fund was developed to support student success, retention, and completion by helping to address unforeseen financial situations that may hinder student achievement. The fund was renamed in 2017 in memory of Sister Sally Walz, RSM, a former Vice President for Academic Affairs and a member of the Board of Trustees. Sister Sally was greatly admired for her untiring commitment to Trocaire College and to our students, especially those in need.

All current students are eligible to apply for emergency funding should they experience an urgent financial need that creates hardship and a significant barrier to achieving their academic goals. These funds are not intended to be used for routine expenses but are reserved for situations and circumstances of urgent need where other avenues of recourse are not available. Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by a review committee, and if approved, allocation of funds (typically one time per student), are dispersed.

To learn more or to complete an application, please visit the Student Emergency Fund page. 

Wellness Programming is held throughout the year on various health and wellness related topics.  

In collaboration with Trocaire’s Human Resources Department, the Wellness Center co-chairs the Wellness Committee. This committee promotes health and wellness within the college community through education and initiatives that inspire and empower students, faculty, and staff to take responsibility for their own health. Meetings take place each month.
