Basic Needs Security

We know students struggle when their basic needs aren't being met.

A large population of college students have stress about finding their next meal, a place to sleep, or keeping up with hygiene needs. If this is you, you're not alone. OSU has a wide range of partnerships, pantries, and resources to help students meet their basic needs.

For more information about the basic needs resources offered to students, please visit the Basic Needs Resource Center website.

When you support Basic Needs Security, you help shape the future for Oklahoma State University! By contributing during Give Orange, you make our future a brighter orange!
