Student Support

Student success programs help NKU students inside and outside of the classroom and see them through whatever challenges they face. Through intentional programming, prevention and emergency support, students are able to work through obstacles and thrive as they pursue their education.

   The Student Emergency Fund provides critical support to students experiencing unforeseen financial hardship. 

  FUEL NKU offers food and toiletries to NKU students facing food insecurity through the on-campus food pantry, campus pop-ups and events. 

  The Norse Violence Prevention Center (NVP) provides free and confidential advocacy services to students who have been impacted by interpersonal violence and hosts prevention programming for students, faculty and staff. 

  The Veterans Resource Station (VRS) provides important college transition assistance, DOD and VA educational benefit advising and assistance, mentoring, comradery and engagement programs. 

When our students need a helping hand, the NKU community is here to assist. Your gift will keep these programs in place so every student can find success while pursuing their degree.
