Investing in the Future
The Fund for Thomas More College is a large part of making a Thomas
More College education affordable for our students. This yearly funding
source helps bridge the gap between tuition and the total cost of
attending Thomas More. It also keeps down tuition costs and fees
for students and their families.
At most four-year independent colleges, tuition
and fees cover approximately 70% of the full cost of an education.
The remaining costs must be made up from other sources; at Thomas
More College, The Fund supports our scholarship program.
The Fund for Thomas More College helps keep tuition down, scholarships
up, and defrays ongoing operating costs for the College. Gifts to
The Fund are earmarked for Presidential Scholarships,
which assist deserving students who would otherwise be unable to
attend Thomas More College. In the last year, over $790,000
has been awarded in Presidential Scholarships.
Counting on Alumni Support
The percentage of alumni who support the Fund for Thomas More College is just as important as the amount given. From modest gifts
of $25 a year to gifts of over $1,000, contributions from alumni
form the heart of a strong, well-endowed Thomas More College.
Continuous alumni support demonstrates your confidence
in the value of a Thomas More education and the philosophy that
a liberal arts education is an excellent preparation for life.
Many foundations and corporations weigh the alumni participation
rate when awarding grants to colleges and universities. The rate
of alumni giving also greatly influences national rankings of colleges
and universities, such as those published in college guidebooks
and U.S. News & World Report.
Counting on Friends of the College
Current and past parents, friends of the College
and others are invited to make unrestricted gifts each year to
The Fund. You need not be an alumnus
or family member to recognize the importance of ongoing support
to ensure that Thomas More can continue to provide the best liberal
arts education to students from all financial backgrounds.
All gifts, large and small, are vital to our future.
