When disaster strikes, we all want to help.
The NSU CARES Fund was created to provide relief after traumatic disaster to help NSU students, employees, and alumni who are most in need of assistance. This fund helps build a foundation for those who will be in need when tragedy strikes.
In previous years, NSU Cares – through the generosity of donors – aided in the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene, Maria, Irma, Dorian, Fiona, Ian, and the Ft. Lauderdale flooding of 2023 as well as other unexpected calamities.
