Information for Programs on Katrina Impact

The ERAS staff would like to extend its deepest sympathies to the students, faculty, staff, and communities of the Gulf Coast region for the hardships caused by Hurricane Katrina. In an effort to provide assistance, we have established this Web site to serve as a central resource for ERAS programs, students, residents, and fellows to provide information and support during this difficult time.

If you are program impacted by the effects of Hurricane Katrina and need additional support from ERAS during this application season, please do not hesitate to contact us at (202) 828-0413.
