NIU Law’s Project Huskie Support

Unexpected financial situations may affect your ability to continue to complete your law studies. If you find yourself in a crisis financially, please submit an application and we will do our best to assist. Through generous contributions from donors, our NIU Law’s Project Huskie Support provides financial assistance to those students who need it. Because funds are limited, at this time, we can provide up to $300. Additionally, in determining whether a student qualifies for financial assistance, we will need to evaluate a number of factors, including financial aid guidelines. You can expect a response from a member of the College of Law leadership team within 72 hours of your request.
