Help make challenging times a little less challenging.

For months the effects of COVID-19 have stretched across our campus, our city, our state and our world. The pandemic has affected the health of thousands of Nebraskans and has financially impacted many, many more. It is a difficult time for us all, but the crisis has created especially adverse hardships for many students and employees of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

Many of you have asked how you might offer some assistance. For those of you who are able to make a gift in this time of crisis, the University of Nebraska has three funds that will help. Whether you’re able to give or not, we hope you and your family remain safe and healthy.

University of Nebraska Emergency Assistance Fund

The University of Nebraska Emergency Assistance Fund was created to help support students and employees on all four campuses who are now facing sudden financial hardship due to crisis situations such as last year’s flooding, personal hardship and now the current cancellation of on-campus classes due to the current crisis.

Education takes a backseat for students who are food insecure or unable to pay housing and other expenses. Many don’t know the status of their employment, and many will return home for the rest of the semester. For some students, this is a life-altering crisis.

Please, if you’re able, consider a gift to the University of Nebraska Emergency Assistance fund to help at-risk students in our university family.
