The aftermath of Hurricane Beryl has left us with a pressing question: How can we uplift our fellow Night Owls impacted by this catastrophe and others across the country? Our WGU community is not immune from natural disasters every year. Yet, in these uncertain times, you hold the power to make a profound difference.

Across Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi this week, more than 1,780 students are without power or are experiencing food and water insecurity. 232 students have been highly impacted, some losing their homes and others facing temporary displacement.

We invite you to be part of a collective effort that can make a difference – a chance to offer essential resources to our most vulnerable Night Owls. By generously donating to the WGU Student Emergency Aid Fund, you can directly contribute to providing critical assistance to our fellow Night Owls who are facing non-tuition expenses that threaten to derail their academic journeys. From rent and groceries to medical bills and internet service – these are the everyday essentials that have become burdensome in the wake of a natural disaster. The Student Emergency Aid Fund can help.

Let compassion guide your action. Your donation, no matter the size, can touch lives in immeasurable ways. The Student Emergency Aid Fund is a lifeline to our Night Owls in need.
