Donate to Help Students

All students can benefit from the generous donations made by our community. You can help by giving to one of the funds below or by donating your time.

Student Assistance Fund

This fund provides limited financial assistance to currently enrolled University of Denver students who are unable to meet immediate, essential expenses because of temporary hardship related to an unexpected situation. Funds are awarded as a grant, and unlike a loan, do not need to be repaid.

The fund is designated to off-set a short-term financial need and is not intended to replace or supplement financial aid. Long term needs can be addressed by meeting with a SOS Case Manager to determine available options. Funds received by students may count as income and may be subject to federal and/or state taxes.

The number of students who can be served by the fund is subject to available resources. The fund must be sustained by contributions from alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends of the University.
