Empowering Dreams

Trinity attracts a unique brand of student. Of course they're talented and disciplined. Yes, they're ambitious and curious about the world. But they're also dreamers. They want to be more than just doctors, lawyers, educators, or business people. They want to be exemplary. They want to get the best from themselves so they can give the best of themselves. Our goal is to see that they can.

Opening doors with increased financial aid endowment
Goal: $70,000,000
More and more talented high school students are putting Trinity at the top of their college "A" list. But as Trinity's tuition has risen (along with that of every other college and university), many of our brightest prospects are forced to choose between the education that is best for them and the education they can afford. Many who do choose Trinity face daunting student loan debt when they graduate, limiting the very opportunities for which Trinity has prepared them. By increasing funds for financial aid, we can open doors for new generations of Trinity students and ensure that no dream has to be deferred.

Raising the bar with a Top Scholars program
Goal: $15,000,000
Trinity attracts bright, adaptive students and provides them with a supportive culture that fosters academic achievement. That culture can be further enhanced by recruiting students of extraordinarily high academic ability who can energize the classroom and inspire their peers. A Top Scholars Program will include four-year awards that will help us attract these students.

Supporting the Trinity Annual Fund
Goal: $8,000,000
As the campaign moves forward, we will work to increase our Annual Fund. Gifts to the Annual Fund help meet the University's present needs and are essential to every department and every program on campus. Primarily they help pay for scholarships and financial aid for deserving students. They also purchase library books, laboratory equipment, new teaching and learning resources, help keep faculty salaries competitive, and fund new academic programs.
