Ways to Donate to Help Students

Group shot of 3 Claflin University students in library with books

College tuition hikes and decreasing financial aid have caused more and more students to apply to UNCF for assistance each year.

However, we can only support one out of every 10 students who applies. Therefore, nine out of 10 deserving, ambitious students have to be told “no.” Why? Because we do not have sufficient funds. These students are our future health professionals, social workers, teachers, government policy makers, and military men and women—they are the future prosperity of our nation. We must do more. And with your help we can.

Ways you can help

UNCF Emergency Student Aid (ESA) Program

For low-income families—like those of the 92 percent of UNCF students who qualify for financial aid—the money needed to handle an emergency can mean the difference between staying in school and dropping out. Get details about the ESA Program.
