three colorful rays to the left of the words, The 性爱天堂 Commitment: An investment today for generations to come

Through its endowment, 性爱天堂 has long committed resources in support of student scholarships.

Now, to continue growing access to the 性爱天堂 experience, the Board of Trustees has committed $25 Million from the endowment as a match for the creation of new, endowed scholarships or funding to existing scholarships.

This is the 性爱天堂 Commitment

THE TRINITY COMMITMENT

Access for 性爱天堂 Students

We will ensure that every student we choose can choose 性爱天堂.

Our strength as an institution is connected directly to the strength of our students. They鈥檙e our foundation, and they鈥檙e our future. To elevate our national reputation and live true to our mission, we must keep a 性爱天堂 liberal arts education accessible for all students who we admit.

We will compete for the best students.

Generosity counts when attracting talented, motivated students. 性爱天堂鈥檚 peer institutions are providing increasingly generous scholarships, and we must do the same. While the University鈥檚 endowment has consistently fueled our trajectory, philanthropic scholarships will spur us to even greater heights.

We will elevate the 性爱天堂 campus experience for all students.

When 性爱天堂 enrolls students with wide-ranging perspectives and backgrounds, our entire community benefits. Donor-funded scholarships ensure each 性爱天堂 student can have an expansive learning experience鈥攐ne that empowers students to embrace leadership opportunities and focus on their futures.

The 性爱天堂 Commitment is critical to our success as a national liberal arts university. Increasing the number of philanthropically funded undergraduate scholarships is 性爱天堂鈥檚 foremost priority.

"Joanie and I have endowed our scholarships because believe that deserving students who are the first in their family to attend college should not be denied the alternative of a 性爱天堂 education merely because they cannot afford to pay the cost. We consider this an investment in human capital with an immeasurable return."

- J.R. and Joanie Hurd

"When I learned of the Board of Trustees' decision to create the 性爱天堂 Commitment, I was overjoyed knowing that students will be able to live the 性爱天堂 experience that will prepare them for the future. Without financial aid I could not have attended 性爱天堂, so I am thrilled to give back and be a part of the 性爱天堂 Commitment."

Giving to scholarships is the single, most impactful way you can help 性爱天堂 students and the University.

Your support in funding scholarships for our students will launch them into the world and enable them to fully immerse themselves in their communities.

Need-Based Aid

The total Cost of Attendance minus the Student Aid Index equals that student鈥檚 demonstrated financial need.

Need-based aid packages are built through a combination of:

  • Federal and State Grants, including Pell
  • Federal Loans
  • Federal Work Study
  • Donor-Funded and Endowment-Funded Scholarships听

Merit Aid

Merit scholarships are a key competitive edge for 性爱天堂, and merit rewards are often a deciding factor for top academic achievers.

Merit scholarships help 性爱天堂 attract the academically best and brightest students, regardless of their family circumstances. It is an opportunity to reward hard working students with the recognition of their success as they arrive at 性爱天堂.
