Help an Elf Annual Holiday Gift Program - Provided by Student Affairs since 1994

The Annual Student Affairs Help an Elf program is designed to assist currently enrolled, full-time APSU students with holiday shopping by providing gifts for their children.  Recipients of the holiday gifts will be children of income eligible APSU students who are currently enrolled in 12 or more credit hours and are not participating in any similar program off campus.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
We will make every attempt to provide assistance to as many families as possible, but please note that priority will be given to first time participants and there is no guarantee of assistance.  Information will remain confidential.

Applications will be available in Student Affairs, UC 206, beginning Wednesday, Nov. 9.  The deadline for all applications for the program is November 22, 2011 at 4 p.m.  Contact Student Affairs at 221-7341 if you would like additional information.

ADOPTION PROCEDURE
The eligible families are "adopted" by Austin Peay organizations, offices, departments and groups.  Elf adoptions by those wishing to purchase gifts will begin on November 23.  The deadline for packages to be turned in to Student Affairs is December 15.  Please contact Student Affairs at 7341 if you are interested in adopting an elf this year, or if you would like to assist the program.


HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM
Student Affairs' Help an Elf program has been a part of celebrating the holiday season and assisting APSU students and their families since 1994.

More than 75 children of eligible APSU students were adopted by staff, faculty and students in 2010!  

Student Affairs wishes to thank the individuals, offices, and groups for supporting the Help an Elf program.  The holidays will be brighter for these children and their families thanks to your generosity!
