Top Priorities at UNK

Make the greatest Impact

Looking for ways to make the greatest impact to the University of Nebraska at Kearney and its students? Below are some great options.

Chancellor's Priorities

Health Sciences Excellence Fund

UNK is laser focused on strengthening the pipeline of health care professionals to rural Nebraska. With the allocation of major funding to build a new rural health complex, we have the opportunity to expand an already vibrant partnership with UNMC to do just that. Donor support of scholarships to attract students and funding to share health care career opportunities with middle and high schoolers will play a role in making our state stronger for the future.

UNK Fund – Campus Priorities

A gift to this fund enables the chancellor to take advantage of special opportunities as they arise or provide immediate support to areas where students and faculty may need it most.


UNK Fund – Student Scholarships

A gift to this fund bolsters the general student scholarship aid available to students within any UNK college.


UNK Fund – Faculty Development

Gifts to this fund support the college faculty.


UNK Student Crisis Scholarship Fund

In 2013 Chancellor Doug Kristensen created the UNK Crisis Scholarship Fund. Your gift to the Crisis Scholarship Fund will help students facing a significant hardship reach their goal to graduate.


Loper Pantry

UNK’s Loper Pantry serves UNK students and employees suffering from food insecurity in a non-judgmental, dignified, welcoming, on-campus environment.
