Scholarships Open Doors

Why support scholarships at UNI

Scholarships unlock students' access to opportunities. They do more than ease financial burdens; they open doors to experiences shaping students’ futures. This year, 2,078 students with financial need received at least one donor-funded scholarship. Still, there’s progress to be made, as 55% of UNI students graduate with student debt.

Your scholarship support offers more than just financial relief. It allows students to concentrate on their studies and provides access to internships and leadership experiences that enhance their careers.

Elementary Education, Class of 2029

As a first-year student, I’ve already experienced the impact of scholarships — not just on my education, but on my future. Both of my parents attended UNI, so from an early age, I knew that if I were to become a teacher, UNI would be my home. That dream is now becoming a reality thanks to individuals like you.

By giving, you can empower students to pursue their dreams, gain real-world experience and prepare for successful careers. Scholarships have allowed me to fully focus on my studies and engage in opportunities like observing classrooms firsthand. These experiences have affirmed my passion for teaching and given me the confidence to tackle my first year at UNI.

Supporting scholarships lifts the burden of financial barriers. Please give today to ensure students like me can focus on learning, growing and contributing to our communities.
