International Student Emergency Fund

This fund supports international students who encounter unexpected emergencies during their course of study at UB.

UB's International students contribute to the university in countless ways. The pandemic and the economic challenges of the past year have been especially difficult for some of our self-funded international students. There have been many calls on our International Student Emergency Fund. Through your generosity and that of donors like you. this fund is enabling many students to manage the challenges of the pandemic and continue their studies at UB successfully. Please consider a gift that can make a big difference in the life of an international student

UB’s inclusive community is nourished by its global diversity, with students, faculty and staff from many countries. In an increasingly global society, we are proud to have the world reflected on our campuses, and to provide all of our students with the unparalleled global learning opportunities that can only be found at a truly internationalized university. Your philanthropy will enable a richer experience for all students—including those from Buffalo, across the U.S. and around the globe.
