Your gift does make a difference Find out how your donation impacted these NLU scholars By Kaitlin Weiss
When the National College of Education was first founded in 1886, the hope of its founders was to create an institution that would allow individuals across all backgrounds to gain skills to provide for themselves and others. Today, National Louis University continues that mission of excellence and access. When you make a gift to the National Louis Annual Fund, there is no good way to tell you what your money is achieving. Instead, we wanted to show you
that you do more – that your gifts to the NLU Fund allow our students to accomplish their goals and achieve their dreams. The Who Gets a Lift From Your Gift: 30 Inspiring NLU Students Campaign was born of that – a way to introduce you to the people who make up our student body – passionate, ambitious, driven students juggling homework and housework, managing a career, and supporting their families. With a variety of degree programs within NLU represented, we were joined by 30 students of all ages and backgrounds who sat down with us to talk about their educational
journey. Having received the Founders Scholarship, students told us about their successes, personal growth, accomplishments, and how receiving a scholarship had impacted their lives. If you want to know who at NLU gets a lift from your gift – it’s all of us. Our students, staff and faculty, and alumni are achieving greatness together.

Who gets a lift from your gift? We do...
Frank Sanchez: “I have gone to a couple of different colleges and universities. I foresee myself completing here. I’m happy for that. I’m finally going to get my bachelor’s degree – and hopefully my master’s as soon as I complete.” Cassandra Jackson: “I’m the only one of five siblings that has any degree, so the fact that I am doing this and coming to a place that will nurture that is important. I can concentrate not so much on the things that I could not do, but on my school work. I can get the grades that I know I can achieve.”
Ryan Hurban: “[The P.A.C.E. Program at NLU] is helping me to learn to be independent, manage money – and just be a better person.”
