Life can change quickly, and unexpected challenges can place real strain on students who are already living with limited resources.
The Student Benevolence Fund allows Dallas International University to respond quickly when students face sudden financial hardship—whether it’s a job loss, urgent car repairs, medical needs, or help bridging a gap in rent or essential expenses. These timely gifts provide stability in difficult moments so students can remain focused on their studies and their preparation for cross-cultural service.
Every contribution, regardless of size, makes a direct and meaningful difference in the lives of students.
One student shared how this support came at just the right time:
“Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and the lockdowns, my husband lost his job. The money he was making was paying for us to live while I took the classes I need for training to go overseas. He couldn't find a job anywhere else, and we were incredibly discouraged about this. We knew that God would provide, but didn't know how or when. Soon after this, we were told that the school had a benevolence fund to help with unexpected expenses, and would pay for our rent for the month. This was our answer to prayer, and not only provided for our physical needs, but also reminded us that God had not forgotten and was taking care of us.”
