NHAA, Inc. Student Emergency Fund

One emergency shouldn’t end a Hampton degree.

When an unexpected tuition balance stands in a Hampton student’s way, the Student Emergency Fund steps in, so a temporary setback never becomes the reason they leave. Your gift keeps a Hamptonian enrolled and on the way to graduation.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

Why It Matters

A small tuition balance shouldn’t decide who graduates.

  • A balance hold that blocks registration for next semester.
  • Financial aid or a scholarship that comes up short, or arrives late.
  • A parent’s job loss mid-year that leaves tuition unpaid.
  • A final balance standing between a senior and graduation.

Tuition bills don’t wait for the next financial aid cycle. For many students, a gap of a few hundred dollars is enough to keep them from registering, or from finishing. The NHAA, Inc. Student Emergency Fund helps Hampton students cover urgent tuition balances so they can stay enrolled and on track to graduate, funded by alumni and friends like you.

Examples of the tuition needs the fund helps meet. Awards go toward tuition only, and gifts are pooled to help students facing hardship.
