We have a new project – and a matching gift!

October 19, 2023

In 2022, you helped the Veterans Resource Station raise $2,043 to support our veteran and military-connected students! Our office has accomplished so many things over the past year, and we couldn’t have done it without the generosity and support of our community – thank you! 

Last week, we launched a new project with the goal of raising $2,500 for our Moonbeam Fund. We are also excited to have a matching gift of $1,000 from an anonymous donor who believes in our work at the VRS. Please help us reach our goal by visiting our new project page.

With your ongoing support of the VRS and the Moonbeam Fund, we can continue serving our veterans and military-connected students so they can thrive on NKU’s campus and find success when they graduate!

Support the VRS!

 

If you have already supported our project, thank you! 

We reached $1,050!

November 09, 2022

Thank you to all the folks supporting the Moonbeam fund. We just hit $1,050 with less than three days left in the project!

When veteran and military-connected students have access to resources like free printing or book grants, it makes academia easier to navigate and increases the likelihood of a successful college career. Our office meets students where they are; we couldn’t do the work without you!


$600 down, $900 to go

October 20, 2022

We are over a third of the way to reaching our fundraising goal of $1,500 to support veteran and military-connected students! Check out this interview with WCPO featuring the Greenzone Brigade to see the value of your dollars in action.

Your gift will directly impact these students by improving their quality of life and easing the transition back to civilian life. THANK YOU for spreading awareness about our mission.

$25

Building Blocks

Will combine with other donations to build the Moonbeam fund to appropriate levels to offer grants and scholarships

$50

Graduation Fee

Could cover the $50 graduation fee for a student or provide a one-time supplemental book grant for a student.

$100

Textbook

Could fund one textbook for a student.

$250

Extra Course Costs

Could cover the additional cost our Active Duty service members, non-KY National Guard members and Reservists who use the Federal Tuition Assistance (T/A) pay for a typical single course. This could also support the service members who do not qualify for 100% of the GI bill to offset extra fees and costs of materials.

$500

Materials for a Semester

Could cover a semester of books for one student and cover additional fees that pop up.

$1,000

Materials for Two Students

Could provide a semester's worth of books and materials for two students. This can also help supplement education costs not covered by Federal Tuition Assistance.
