Each year, the graduating class undertakes a special fundraising effort to leave a legacy gift to Tusculum College. The 2015 Graduates Give Back Campaign is designed to honor graduating seniors during their final year at Tusculum and establish a lasting tribute to their accomplishments. In the past, the Graduate Gift Campaign has been instrumental in raising money for special gifts that fund worthwhile projects and physical enhancements that otherwise would not have been possible.
This year, the focus of the 2015 Graduates Give Back Campaign is a scholarship for future students. Gifts from the class of 2015, combined with contributions from this year’s Golden Pioneers (the class of 1965) and the 25th year reunion (the class of 1990), will help provide a scholarship to future students for years to come. Scholarships make college accessible and affordable, especially in the face of diminishing federal aid for hundreds of Tusculum students. Their contribution to scholarships makes this possible!
Gifts from parents of seniors wishing to honor their students’ achievements are welcomed to the 2015 Graduates Give Back Campaign. For a parent of a Tusculum student, the 2015 Graduates Give Back Campaign can be a generous tribute to that student’s college experience and achievements. For the College, it is a tremendous acknowledgement of success of the students, the College, the community, and, yes, parents . It is a sign that all together have nurtured and nourished a new group of young people who are educated and enthusiastic, caring and competent. They are ready for life ahead.
If you have any questions about the 2015 Graduates Give Back Campaign, please contact Nicole Wagner, Coordinator of the Tusculum Fund, at 423.636.7303 or nwagner@tusculum.edu.
Help your child leave their legacy and put Pioneers First today!
