While we at Pig Iron are facing our own financial crisis in the wake of UArts’ closure, we understand that so many students will be suddenly cut off from financial aid and other resources. We have received such an outpouring of concern and love—and lots of questions about how to help all the various constituencies impacted by the closure.

100% of these funds will be allocated to the current Pig Iron MFA students who may face loss of health insurance, loss of financial aid that supports housing, and other costs caused by this disruption.
