Why Give

Why Give

Financial aid, scholarships, programs and resources to attract and retain exceptional teachers, and funding to support TU’s strategic partnerships are all critical elements of the special TU experience. With them, bright futures become a reality for many who have allowed themselves to dream. 

Through the Hill-Lopes Scholars Program, designed to support women in STEM, students gain the academic and professional skills necessary to excel in today’s STEM workforce, while taking advantage of research experiences, seminars, and one-on-one mentorship.

Our Tigers are also more determined than ever to make a difference in our community, and they’ve never been more equipped to pay it forward. The College Readiness Outreach Program (CROP) is evidence of that, as 9th graders from Baltimore City Public High Schools are connected with TU students who share their perspective on a number of issues, including finances, career exploration, and other topics important to life after high school.

These are just two examples of how TU creates opportunity. And what makes them possible is your support.  Without the generosity of people like you, these life-changing experiences would not be possible.
