DEDICATION TO
OUR STUDENTS
We consider all students, faculty, and staff to be members of our family, and in critical
times it is important that we come together and provide support to those in need. We
recently announced the development of a Student Relief Fund for those experiencing
financial hardship due to the effects of the pandemic. NCU is allocating $250,000 to
help our students with funds to cover school related costs on a case-by-case basis. To
offer as much assistance to as many people as we can, we have planned a process for
distributing micro-grants through our Financial Appeals Process. Additionally, we have
developed flexible scheduling and grading policies to support our students working
more hours in this time of need. NCU has budgeted this fund through reducing some
activities for its own faculty and staff. We are all in this together and are all committed
to the welfare and success of our students.
We are going to ask the NCU community and the communities around you to continue
to support one another and ask you to consider contributing to the NCU Student Relief
Fund by visiting: www.ncu.edu/giving or through the ADP portal.
NCU will also be participating in the global generosity movement #GivingTuesdayNow.
This global day of unity will take place on May 5, 2020, as a response to the unprecedented
need caused by COVID-19.
