Life-changing opportunities and experiences are made available to every student through loyal philanthropic support that changes the lives of our students and makes a difference in their futures. The generosity of so many has a lasting impact on future successes and demonstrates the true Power of Niagara University.
The Niagara Fund is an opportunity for alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, and friends of the university to come together to make a difference in the quality of education and services the university provides. Niagara University’s success depends largely on private support from friends and alumni.
Niagara University provides financial aid to 99 percent of incoming undergraduate students. This support plays a major role in a student’s decision to attend NU.
