THANK YOU!

Thank you for your generous support on Giving Tuesday! Your decision to invest in Northern Michigan University is truly appreciated. With the help of over 140 donors, we raised more than $80,000 in new resources for scholarships and student support.

Your contribution will be put to work right away, including the creation of two exciting new funds: the Wellbeing Fund and the School of Education, Leadership, and Public Service Scholarship.

Increasing the number of available scholarships is a key initiative and your support is helping us provide more students with the boost they need to keep moving forward. And when setbacks occur, our students know they have the support of the Northern community to lift them up during challenging times.

Thank you for being a part of something special at NMU!

Sincerely,

The NMU Foundation Team

Join the NMU community today and support NMU students!

This Giving Tuesday, your generosity can create a meaningful impact for NMU students. A $20 gift to the NMU Food Pantry provides a week's worth of groceries for a student in need. A $100 donation to the Emerick Book Fund could be the key to a student accessing essential textbooks. And with the average financial barrier to graduation being just $277, your support could be the difference that helps a student cross the finish line and earn their degree. Every contribution, no matter the size, changes lives.

About

At NMU, access to financial resources that address unforeseen expenses is vital, as it empowers students to focus on their education and thrive despite hardships.

The Emerick Book Fund was created to support students who struggle to afford their textbooks and course materials. Gifts to the fund provide financial assistance for purchasing textbooks, software programs, and online memberships required for coursework. The goal is to reduce the financial barriers that prevent students from accessing the essential materials needed to succeed academically.

For college students, unexpected setbacks can pose significant challenges, often determining whether they can complete their degree or face an uncertain future. By investing in these funds, we not only support individual students but also strengthen the entire community, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed.
