Giving at UWS
Business Partners Vendor Fair to Commence in April
Student’s First Emergency Relief Fund Success University of Western States alumni, friends and employees came together to support UWS students during the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2020. In two short weeks, our community gave back in a powerful way. Both on campus and online students applied. Thank you donors! By the Numbers: • 58 donors • $8,667 raised; distributed equally • 57 students received assistance “It has been a challenge these last few months balancing financial obligations, childcare for my three and six-year-old daughters and my academic goals at UWS,” said Sarah Nieminski, human nutrition and functional medicine student. “This grant will help me buy all my school supplies for this upcoming summer term and instead of worrying about these purchases I am now very much looking forward to preparing for my classes! Thank you!”
