Cost of Attendance

Cost of Attendance Fund

The Cost of Attendance Fund helps cover the full expenses of attending college for NIU student-athletes, including travel, equipment, and other essential costs. Since adopting the NCAA Cost of Attendance rule, NIU was the first Mid-American Conference institution to provide this support, adding $800,000 to $1,200,000 in new annual resources for our student-athletes.

Your gift ensures NIU can recruit and retain top-tier student-athletes, keeping the Huskie brand competitive both regionally and nationally. By supporting this fund, you help maintain a student-athlete experience that is second to none, empowering Huskies to excel in athletics, academics, and personal development.

Thank you for investing in the success and competitiveness of NIU student-athletes.
