Annual Fund Priorities

Support Our Students

Even before the current economic crisis began, increasing financial aid was a top priority for President Susan Fuhrman and the TC faculty, who unwaveringly believe our students should not leave TC burdened by so much debt: A master's graduate typically owes $40,000-$80,000, a doctoral graduate, $70,000-$100,000. With your support we can change this.

The figures above are shocking, but they demonstrate the lengths to which TC students are willing to go to pursue their dreams and the personal sacrifices they are willing to make to study at TC.  With endowment income lagging in the current economy, a strong Annual Fund is even more essential to support the needs of our students.
