Emergency fund for students in acute need

student in bibliotheek

Do you want to do something for students in need? The Utrecht University Fund uses its Emergency Fund for students who have been affected by illness, the political situation in their home country, war, personal circumstances, or just plain bad luck. This can put them in acute financial difficulty, unable to afford basic needs. The university helps and supports them whenever possible, with a modest contribution that can be used to meet the initial acute financial need. We greatly need the help of our academic community. Donations to the Emergency Fund can be done through this page.

Academic community shows solidarity

These students are part of our academic community and should not have to bear the brunt of unforeseen circumstances. Many alumni and friends of our university already contributed, hundreds of donations were received. "Especially now, science and independent thinking are so important.", writes one of them. Another: "To support students in these difficult times". You can help too by donating.
