Student Emergency Fund Now Available!!



Northeastern Illinois University is pleased to announce the creation of the Student Emergency Fund within the NEIU Foundation.

The Student Emergency Fund is a joint venture between the Divisions of Student Affairs and Academic Affairs and has been established by Vice President Daniel López Jr. and Acting Provost Wamucii Njogu. The fund assists Northeastern students by providing limited emergency financial support when they need assistance for essential expenses due to a temporary and unexpected hardship.

This resource will be able to provide assistance surrounding situations such as accidents, illness, death of a family member, fire damage or need for temporary housing. It is not intended to reimburse for expenses that have already been paid, or to replace or supplement existing financial aid. If Student Emergency Funds are granted, they do not have to be repaid.

To learn more about the Student Emergency Fund, contact Student Affairs at saffairs@neiu.edu or Ext. 4600, or visit the website for eligibility requirements, application process and ways to contribute.
