McKinley Deacon Davis CHANCE Program
Support the CHANCE Program During Huskies United

The McKinley “Deacon” Davis CHANCE Program is a unique, nationally recognized student support program that has impacted the lives of more than 10,000 Huskies over more than 50 years. The CHANCE Program is a champion of equitable access to college. CHANCE provides a comprehensive and personalized support system to help students successfully stay in college and earn their college degrees.

Many of the students benefiting from participation in the CHANCE Program are in need financially. CHANCE students need access to increased scholarships for tuition, books and typical college experiences to reduce barriers for college completion.

Join NIU and CHANCE alumni members and friends in supporting CHANCE students during the Huskies United Day of Giving. Support the future and legacy of the CHANCE Program and its students with donation today!
