The Jack Canfield Student Medical Emergency Relief Fund (SMERF) is a service that provides grants to all UCSB students with expenses related to medical, dental, psychological, and optical emergencies. For the purpose of this fund, a medical emergency is a condition, injury, or illness that poses a risk to a person’s life, long-term health, or well-being and requires timely intervention. This does not include prescriptions or medical care for on-going non-emergency conditions.
