Ensuring the success of our Benedictine University students means not only providing a learning environment that allows them to thrive, but also providing help and support in times of need. The Mission Fund provides emergency relief for students experiencing financial hardship.
Our Mission Fund assists students who are working toward earning a degree but encounter hardship during their time here. A family emergency or unexpected expense can derail a student and limit their educational opportunities. The Mission Fund provides them a safety net, ensuring they can continue their education.
The Benedictine Mission Fund can have a lasting impact on a student’s life. Listen to the stories of three BenU alumni about how the Fund helped them during their college years.

Giving appreciated stock is tax-wise for some donors. Consult your financial advisor to see if this option may be right for you. For assistance on transferring stock, contact Nicki Anderson, Executive Director of University Development at [email protected] or (630) 829-6008. We also highly encourage you to alert the University of your impending stock gift so that we may properly acknowledge your contribution. You may contact Nicki about this as well.
For donors who are taking required minimum distributions, a charitable IRA rollover gift may make sense. Contact your financial advisor to see if this option is right for you.
