02.01.2022 Earlier this year, the VU community generously responded to our call for help. We helped more than 3,000 students to keep the power on over winter, pay rent and even put food on the table. And above all keep studying. As we come to the end of 2020, many students still face an uncertain financial future. We don’t want to have to turn students away over the summer. Please give generously to support a student so they can get through the holidays and come back to class next year.
