How you can help in this uncertain time
We are in uncharted territory.
A national emergency declaration in response to a pandemic virus is new to all of us, and we want to be both sensitive and responsive to the unique situation of every single student, every alumnus, every friend of the University of Nebraska.
With economic uncertainty a reality for many, we ask for financial support with prudence. At the same time, some in our university family have reached out to ask how they can help, and some student support organizations have reached out to seek assistance.
The University of Nebraska Emergency Assistance Fund was created to help support students and employees on all four campuses who face sudden financial hardship due to crisis situations, such as last year’s flooding, difficult personal circumstances and now the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In times like this, we must do all that we can to maintain the prioritization of education for our students. We do not want their studies to be compromised by food insecurity, loss of income, changes in housing arrangements or other uncertainties or unforeseen expenses. The Emergency Assistance Fund helps us help our students through these transitions and period of need.
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. Visit nufoundation.org/covid-19 to learn of other ways you can support the university as we battle this virus.
Whether you’re able to give at this time or not, we extend our wishes for your health and safety.
Sincerely,
Walter “Ted” Carter Jr.
President, University of Nebraska
