Whether you benefit from the quality of faculty or by creating a lifelong network through extracurricular activities, were there for innovative campus changes such as the launch of the campus-wide bussing system and the first computer room on campus, or were on campus during pivotal moments like the Kent State shootings, NIU has had an indelible impact on your life -- and that hasn't changed in the last 50+ years!
You can help continue NIU's legacy by making a gift to help support the next generation of Huskies.
This year's goal is $19,730 and all donations will go to NIU's general scholarship fund. Gifts to this fund to support scholarship for students from all colleges and departments to help them earn their degree at NIU.
