Frontiers, A Campaign for the Support of First-Generation Students
Since our founding in 1794, Tusculum University’s core mission has been to provide an outstanding education on the frontier that prepares students for their lives and careers. Even from our earliest days, providing education to First-Generation Students has always been at the heart of what we do. Two hundred and thirty years later, our mission remains the same; only the frontiers have changed.
Today, Tusculum’s student body includes 58% first-generation students – meaning neither of the student’s parents or guardians have completed a bachelor’s degree. In addition, more than 98% of our traditional undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid. Earning a college degree is vital for young men and women to develop into career-ready professionals, but various costs can be an obstacle on the path to graduation. This is where a special scholarship supporting first-generation students can have a significant and lasting impact.
We are proud to announce the launch of a special campaign focused on raising scholarship support for our first-generation students. Frontiers, A Scholarship Campaign for the support of First-Generation Students, will run throughout 2025. In the months to come, we will be highlighting this unique part of our history and sharing stories from many of our first-gen students and alumni. Our Goal is $125,000.
