Support UK students in times of crisis

The Basic Needs and Persistence Fund is the primary mechanism at UK to help students in their time of need. Administered by Student Success, this fund provides services and support for students experiencing varying degrees of uncertainty around basic needs and/or financial distress, which may otherwise prevent them from continuing their education. The importance of this fund and the impact it can have only grows during times of crisis.

Your united show of support through a gift to this fund provides urgently needed tools and encouragement to our students and their families. We invite you to join us in supporting students by making a gift to the Basic Needs and Persistence Fund today.

You can support the Basic Needs and Persistence Fund on this page. If you'd like to give to another fund that is not listed, please use the search box in the upper right of this page and type in the desired fund to make your gift. We are grateful for your support!
