Emergency Fund for Tilburg University students
With the Emergency Fund, Tilburg University Fund supports students who are in financial difficulties. For example due to the war in Ukraine, the corona measures, or more recently the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Partly because of your donations, they can focus on what they came to Tilburg University for: their studies. It gives them a financial buffer. With donations to the Emergency Fund, the University Fund creates a safety net for these students. We need your help to do so!
If we can take away some of their financial worries, that would mean quite a bit

Support students in need
In the past, we have supported students in financial distress due to corona measures. The war in Ukraine also had a great impact on students. Directly affected students, not only worry enormously about family and friends but also find themselves in acute financial difficulty. Recently, the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have suddenly turned the lives of some of our students' upside down. These students are also offered financial support from the emergency fund.
We cannot provide this support without your help. Please help these students and donate to the Emergency Fund.
The impact of the war in Ukraine

Mies Hezemans
Dean of Students"Our Ukrainian students tell us harrowing stories. Their family have fled their homes or are living abroad and have taken in refugees. Salaries are no longer paid, that is, if there are still jobs to go to in the first place, so parents can no longer support their studying children. The students are anxious and if we can take away some of the financial worries, that would mean quite a bit. But other students already studying here were suddenly unable to access their money. They, too, are facing great difficulties."

Polina Fleminga
Second-year IBA student from Ukraine“My family ended up losing their income and jobs, as well as all their saving, were left in the banks that do not operate right now. I did not have enough money to pay my rent that month. By understanding how unexpected these circumstances are for the Emergency fund, they did what they can for now to ease my situation. I found great relief and some part of the stress on my shoulders was taken away. I am thankful to the Emergency fund for supporting me so that I can pay for my rent. I am grateful for that!”
