Invest in the Future of Student Leadership
Every year, NAAUC meets passionate, visionary student leaders who are eager to grow and contribute but face financial barriers that make attending the National Conference out of reach. We believe leadership should never be limited by circumstance.
Your donation helps break down those barriers. From travel and registration to accommodation, your support covers the essentials so students can focus on what truly matters: learning, connection, and creating lasting impact in their communities.
Why Donate?
When you give to the NAAUC Scholarship & Bursary Fund, you're not just sponsoring attendance you're amplifying voices. These are the students with lived experience, trailblazing ideas, and the drive to make residential life more inclusive, more connected, and more compassionate.
Donations directly enable students to participate in sector-shaping conversations and leadership development that equips them for real-world challenges. It’s an investment not just in one student’s journey - but in the future of residential communities nationwide.
SUPPORT A SEAT AT THE NATIONAL TABLE
The NAAUC National Conference is more than an annual gathering - it’s a launchpad for leadership, empowerment, and action. For many, it’s a transformative moment: where confidence grows, networks form, and purpose is clarified.
By donating, you’re opening that door for someone who may not otherwise get to walk through it. You’re saying yes to opportunity, equity, and the belief that great leadership begins with access. With your help, we can ensure every student who should be there, can be.
“Being a scholarship recipient was a truly brilliant experience. The opportunity to have so many people who are passionate about student leadership together in one place is unique and unlike anything outside the NAAUC National Conference.”

“Receiving a scholarship to attend NAAUC was such an incredible opportunity that let me expand my knowledge and better myself as a leader within my college community. Having the opportunity to be surrounded by likeminded people who were passionate in bettering themselves and their colleges was truely amazing and so beneficial in my own growth.”
