About

The Student Emergency Fund offers limited financial assistance to UNI students dealing with unexpected emergencies such as accidents, illness, the death of a family member, fire damage or the need for temporary housing. These funds help cover essential expenses like temporary housing, safety needs, replacement of essential belongings and travel costs for family emergencies. Priority is given to students whose academic progress is at risk due to these challenges.

In the past four years, over 300 students have received more than $90,000 from the Student Emergency Fund, allowing them to focus on their studies without the burden of unexpected financial setbacks.

Your gift to the Student Emergency Fund allows UNI students to navigate sudden financial hardships and continue their education. Every contribution helps keep students on track toward graduation. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’›
