Originally from Yemen, I have been living in the U.S. since I was 14 to pursue an education. NOVA has supported me in my journey and positioned me to pursue my dream to become a human rights lawyer.

Gifts become text books for students, help fund the best faculty, pay for emergency transportation and create opportunities for students to participate in internships as a pathway to employment. Your gift to NOVA makes a difference.

Students will have access to the Student Success Fund to address unexpected emergency expenses that would otherwise force them to stop out or dropout from their educational journey.
Endowed faculty professorships are crucial for recruiting and retaining the highest-quality faculty.
