Class Partners
Each fall, hundreds of the country’s top students begin their journey at Trinity University. They are drawn to Trinity because of its academic reputation, its outstanding faculty, and its strong commitment to the liberal arts and sciences. But many of these students have an additional factor to consider: cost. With tuition exceeding $40,000 annually, and the total cost of attendance exceeding $60,000, it isn’t surprising that almost half of all Trinity students demonstrate financial need. After maximizing federal loan opportunities, nearly one-third of these students still require additional financial assistance to attend Trinity. Trinity is committed to attracting and retaining the best and brightest students, evaluating applicants based on academic qualifications, extracurricular involvement, and character, and supporting these students by reducing their financial burden. Trinity currently funds 34% of financial aid grants through income from its endowment, with remaining grants funded primarily through tuition revenue and donations. Imagine being instrumental in reducing the amount of debt that a student takes on in order to attend Trinity. Through the Class Partners program, you will be opening doors for those deserving young women and men whose only obstacle to the Trinity experience is financial need. Trinity University invites you to change the course of a student’s life through the Class Partners Program. For a four-year commitment of $5,000 every year, you will make a Trinity education possible to our students with the greatest financial need. In return, you will celebrate the achievements and highlights of the class of students you are partnered with through a progress report shared at the end of each academic year. Please consider investing in the next generation of Trinity Tigers.
