Minot State University has moved to remote learning, which has presented challenges for some of our students who have limited resources, and others who are losing income they had due to stores and restaurants limiting hours and closing entirely. Our students are struggling with unexpected personal expenses including travel costs to return home, technology needs to participate in online courses and other essential items.

Minot State University, in partnership with generous alumna, Mary Quandt '76, created the Student Emergency Fund to ensure no student’s education is hindered because of unexpected expenses. These funds are intended to help students with unforeseen financial emergencies that might otherwise prevent them from continuing their education. There is perhaps no other fund at MSU that has such a powerful and immediate impact on students.

Thanks to a pool of matching funds from generous donors, Mary Quandt '76, Robert ’60 and Jo Ann Skabo, MSU Staff Senate, and the MSU Development Foundation, gifts to the Student Emergency Fund will be matched dollar for dollar DOUBLING your impact on our students and truly changing the lives of those affected by the unexpected financial crisis of COVID-19.

The campaign launched March 26th and will remain open throughout the Spring 2020 semester. Make your gift now before the pool of matching dollars is depleted.

Our Students Need You Now More Than Ever!
