Supporting Huskies When They Need It Most
Each year, dozens of enrolled business students face unexpected financial challenges that put their education at risk. The Huskies Finish Fund was created to provide immediate financial assistance to full-time College of Business students experiencing hardships such as job loss, food insecurity, medical emergencies, or homelessness. Your support ensures that these students can stay on track toward graduation.
Why Your Support Matters
Your gift to the Huskies Finish Fund provides critical aid when scholarships and financial assistance are unavailable.
With your contribution, we can:
✔ Help students pay tuition and fees, allowing them to stay enrolled and continue progressing toward their degree.
✔ Provide course materials, including textbooks and required learning tools.
✔ Offer emergency financial relief for rent, food, medical bills and other essential needs.
✔ Reduce financial holds, enabling students to register for courses and complete their studies.
Funding Priorities
Your generosity directly supports students who:
✔ Have demonstrated academic progress
✔ Are facing an unanticipated financial hardship
✔ Are in good academic standing and closer to graduation, ensuring they can cross the finish line.
✔ Work with NIU financial counseling to develop a plan for future financial stability.
A Legacy of Giving
A portion of the Huskies Finish Fund has been made possible through the generosity of the College of Business Executive Board of Advisors and other donors.
Your support continues this tradition of helping students achieve their dreams despite financial obstacles.
