 The Parents' Fund
What is it?
The Trinity University Parents Fund is a specific gift-giving program for parents of current and former students. The deep interest and generous support of parents have made a significant difference in helping Trinity maintain its position as one of the nation’s best liberal arts and sciences universities.
In the library, the classrooms, the laboratories, the Chapel, the concert halls and on the intramural fields, parents consistently see and show their support of Trinity’s commitment to quality. With over 40% of Trinity parents making gifts to the Parents Fund every year, Trinity has one of the most successful parent programs in the country.
How does it help?
Gifts to the Trinity University Parents Fund help to:
- keep classes small enough for professors and students to really know one another
- provide a library with over one million titles to answer almost any question a student may ask
supply over 70% of Trinity students with scholarships and financial aid
- attract distinguished faculty and provide academic enrichment programs
- enrich student life with a beautiful campus and extracurricular activities which give added dimension to a Trinity education.
