About the NHAA, Inc. Student Emergency Fund
The Student Emergency Fund was founded to support hardworking students who are encountering financial difficulties. The fund provides individual grants of financial support, allowing students to focus on achieving academic goals.
The NHAA, Inc. Student Emergency Fund has been fueled solely by donations from alumni and corporate partners. Every dollar will be awarded to a student in need.
Award recipients will be selected by a committee and receive final approval through a majority vote by the Executive Board. Award recipients will be chosen based on financial need, and must be in good academic and social standing with the University.
