Invest in the Future: Support Student Scholarships at NLU
A scholarship is much more than financial aid - it is a life-changing opportunity. At National Louis University, many of our students are the first in their families to attend college. They are determined, resilient, and driven to build better lives for themselves, their families and their communities. But even with that determination, the cost of higher education can be a barrier that is too great to overcome alone.
Your scholarship gift directly empowers these students to pursue their dreams. It removes financial obstacles, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: learning, growing, and preparing for meaningful careers in education, business, healthcare, social services, and more.

Together, We Help Students Thrive
At National Louis University, we believe every student deserves the chance to succeed - academically, personally, and professionally. Yet too many students face barriers. By supporting one of our student-centered priorities, you ensure that nothing stands in the way of a student’s education and dreams.
Student Emergency Fund
When unexpected crises strike, such as job loss, medical bills, or housing insecurity, students may face the difficult choice of pausing their education. The Student Emergency Fund offers immediate financial support so students can remain in class and on track to graduation.
Food Pantry/Basic Needs
For many National Louis University students, the path to a college degree is about more than academics - it is about overcoming the everyday challenges of food insecurity and financial hardship.
Through our expanded on-campus food and hygiene pantry, comprehensive resource hub, and dedicated staff and student leaders, NLU connects students with critical community-based supports. Our goal is simple and urgent: eliminate basic needs as a barrier to student success.
Your gift today helps ensure that every NLU student not only persists - but thrives.
