MSU creates NEST fund for students

Morehead State University has started a new initiative called the Eagle’s NEST Fund to support students amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The MSU Foundation has committed to providing support for students impacted by the pandemic through scholarships and student aid programs like Eagle Essentials, a free pantry where students can get food and toiletry items.

Mindy Highley is the Assistant Vice President for Alumni Relations & Development for MSU. She says there is another useful program under the NEST initiative called the Student Hardship Assistance Resource Emergency Fund.
