Our Crowdfunding Groups
In January, 2014, 65 institutions from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC approved a new rule stating that Div. I student-athletes can now receive aid that provides funds to help pay the full costs of attending college, such as travel and other expenses.
Since then it has been adopted by other Div. I conferences and their member institutions, including the Mid-American Conference. NIU was the first institution in the MAC to adopt Cost of Attendance, adding $800,000 to $1,200,000 in new annual expenses.
NIU Athletics is dedicated to remaining competitive, regionally and nationally. Cost of Attendance allows NIU coaches and staff the ability to recruit and retain student-athletes that will keep the NIU brand in the national spotlight.
