Student Support

Student Affairs and Institutional Equity (SAIE) at NDSU exists to provide students with comprehensive services and co-curricular experiences. Funds for SAIE help students in times of need and provide a piece of “heart” at NDSU — going beyond the general business needs of students and providing them opportunities to come to NDSU, remain at NDSU, and be cared for while they are here.

Your Giving Day gift will support:

• Opportunity & Excellence Fund — The Opportunity & Excellence Fund was created to open doors to a world-class education, empowering the University to award scholarships based on the greatest needs of NDSU students and their families.
• The Student Emergency Fund — NDSU created the Student Emergency Fund to assist students by providing assistance funds in times of crisis. These funds do not need to be repaid and are intended to help students meet unforeseen financial emergencies that might otherwise prevent them from continuing their education.
• NDSU Food Security Fund — Hunger impacts students’ grades along with their mental and physical well-being. The Food Security Fund provides support to NDSU students who are experiencing hunger due to food insecurity and a lack of access to affordable nutritious food.
