The first initiative is eliminating $600,000 in student debt for students with balances from spring 2020 through the spring 2021 semester.
“The health crisis and ensuing recession, affected so many of our students and their families,” NKU President Ashish Vaidya said in a statement. “Wiping out their account balance, allows our students to continue their educational journey with a fresh start without worrying about what they owe the university. We know that earning a baccalaureate degree increases upward mobility and alleviates the demand for talent in our region, so we believe this investment aligns perfectly with our goals of student success and regional stewardship.”
