Financial Wellbeing

Financial wellbeing is learning how to successfully manage financial expenses. Money plays a critical role in our overall wellbeing and being able to manage it will positively impact your health, your academic/work performance and your future.

Financial decisions you make now can have a huge impact on your life for many years to come. Everyone’s financial situation is different, so it is up to you to find the right mix that works for you.

UNG Food Pantries

The UNG Food Pantries will provide non-perishable food items and basic supplies to food insecure students, staff and faculty in need. The food pantry is not a university funded service. The services are financed through year-round charitable fundraising events. Most of the food is from donations.

Products offered are dependent on their availability, as well as our financial situation. We try to provide as much variety as possible while still maintaining cost limitations and providing for the basic needs for those who need assistance.
