Remember what it felt like to be a student at Northwest? The late nights in the library, the excitement of graduation, and the support of the community that helped you get there. Now, you can pay that forward. Your support, no matter the size, makes a real and immediate difference for students navigating their own Northwest journey. You're helping a fellow Bearcat thrive, succeed, and become the next generation of leaders.
The Pay It Forward Fund aids Northwest students who are struggling financially while engaging them in the resources available to be successful financially, socially and academically. Such purposes include, but are not limited to, unexpected medical costs, tuition assistance and emergency transportation needs.
The Bearcat Food Pantry provides a source of food and necessities for Northwest students and employees. Items include canned, boxed and commercially packaged items such as canned fruits and vegetables, boxed macaroni and cheese and packaged goods such as ramen noodles. The Bearcat Food Pantry also offers personal hygiene items, including soap, shampoo, toilet tissue, feminine products and toothpaste.
We Gotchya Fund covers expenses related to offering free menstruation products in academic restrooms to help ensure students do not miss class due to period-related issues.
The Northwest Career Closet provides free clothing to all students so they can look and feel their best whether they are interviewing for a job, student teaching, attending career day or starting a new job. While physical clothing items are the most common form of donation, monetary support is always appreciated for purchasing items not commonly donated.
