RhodyNow: Students First Fund

Some challenges arrive without warning—a laptop that suddenly stops working, a car that won’t start, or losing a place to stay between semesters. For many URI students, an unexpected setback like this can disrupt everything: classes, work, and even the ability to stay enrolled.

That’s why the RhodyNow: URI Students First Fund exists. It’s a lifeline that helps students cover urgent needs like temporary housing, transportation, or technology right when they need it most.

When a student reaches out, your gift becomes the bridge between crisis and stability. It’s the difference between falling behind and moving forward.
