People want to help—all you need to do is reach out.

When faced with a serious medical condition, the emotional and financial toll can feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to face it alone. The Samaritan Fund Program was created to lift that financial burden—so you can focus on what truly matters: your health and your family.

To date, the Samaritan Fund has sourced more than $30 million to help individuals and families in need.

💰 Financial Relief for Individuals with Severe Medical Conditions

Missouri State University is proud to offer the Samaritan Fund Program for employees and their dependents. This confidential program connects individuals with resources to pay for high-cost medical treatments and out-of-pocket expenses that traditional insurance doesn’t fully cover.

As one participant shared:

“I would definitely take the time to sign up for this. It’s worth it. Samaritan Fund Program has been so nice. I’d say take the time to see if you qualify. The stress level does not go away but it helps ease the pain. Not physically, but I know some financial burdens can be painful.”
