The UB Fund

The UB Fund is a powerful way for UB alumni and donors to make an immediate difference in students' lives. The more people who give, the greater the impact—right now and for years to come.

Your gift empowers students to see the world, explore bold ideas and lead with purpose.

Some of the ways the UB Fund is used:

Scholarship

UB students do, see and learn things beyond their wildest dreams. The 7,000 donor-funded scholarships that were distributed last year enabled more students from all backgrounds to earn a degree—and take on the world.

Emergency Funds

Thanks to the generosity of UB Fund donors, students facing unexpected financial hardship have the resources they need. Your support helps keep students on track—98% of students who receive emergency grants stay in school to pursue their degree.

Experiential Learning

Students apply their knowledge and insight within real-world contexts outside the classroom. Opportunities like study abroad, internships, community engagement and clinical experiences are possible because of donor support of the UB Fund.
