Huskies. Never. Quit. But sometimes they need a little help.

 

Scholarships are one of the greatest needs at NIU and one of the best investments you can make in the University.

 

Many NIU students are first-generation—the first in their families to even think about going to college. Some come from very challenging circumstances. Many work multiple jobs to pay tuition and make ends meet. But NIU students never quit and neither will the alumni and donors who support them.

 

Creating life-changing opportunities for our hardworking, dedicated students and faculty is the NIU Foundation's highest priority. You can help make sure that all students with a dream--and a willingness to work hard--have access to an NIU education by making a gift to one of the scholarship funds below.
