Give Big to the UNM-Gallup Branch Unrestricted Fund
UNM-Gallup is dedicated to supporting students not just inside the classroom, but also through life’s unexpected challenges. Sometimes, emergencies arise that threaten a student’s ability to continue their education.
That’s where the UNM-Gallup Branch Unrestricted Fund comes in. UNM-Gallup believes that every student deserves the chance to succeed, no matter what life throws their way.
Unexpected challenges like a sudden illness, car trouble, or housing issues can put a student’s education at risk.
The UNM-Gallup Branch Unrestricted Fund is a critical resource that provides financial assistance to students facing these types of crises. Your Big Give contribution can help:
- Cover urgent medical expenses: Ensure students can access necessary health care without jeopardizing their finances.
- Maintain stable housing: Prevent students from experiencing homelessness due to unforeseen circumstances.
- Provide access to nutritious food: Help students focus on their studies, not on an empty stomach.
- Keep students on the road to graduation: Ensure reliable transportation so students can attend classes and access campus resources.
Even a small gift to the UNM-Gallup Branch Unrestricted Fund can have a huge impact on a student’s life.
