Welcome to the National University Foundation
One spark can ignite a universe of possibility, causing a chain reaction that impacts everything it touches. The National University Foundation was created to be that spark, spreading the hope of a rich and rewarding life to adult learners who would otherwise face overwhelming barriers to higher education.
By offering pathways to possibility, National University Foundation donors are changing the world, one student at a time. Learners from all walks of life will gain the knowledge they need to burn brighter, blaze new trails, and become a force for good in society — ultimately becoming the spark to ignite others. By guiding students toward a brighter future, we’ll create a legacy that lasts.
