GREENEVILLE<\/strong> \u2013 As the nation responds to the coronavirus, Tusculum University<\/a> is taking a proactive step to assist incoming students whose families might be affected financially.<\/h3>\n

Tusculum is waiving the enrollment deposit all new students would have paid for the summer sessions and the fall semester when they commit to attend the university. By implementing this measure, Tusculum is ensuring students will not have to pay funds to the university until later in the enrollment process.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcceptance to a university is one of the most memorable experiences in a person\u2019s life,\u201d said Dr. Ramona Williams, Tusculum\u2019s vice president of enrollment management and financial aid<\/a>. \u201cBut for some people, that joy is mixed with worry because of challenges their family might be experiencing. We want our future Pioneers to focus on preparing for their enrollment and celebrating their acceptance to Tusculum.\u201d<\/p>\n

The onset of the coronavirus has put many people in a difficult position with job losses or reduced pay. Dr. Williams said Tusculum recognized some people might not be in a position now to pay a deposit and might need to focus on other expenses. This relief by the university will give them time to focus on their immediate priorities, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cReceiving a degree presents many opportunities for long-term success, and we want incoming students to focus on that big picture,\u201d said Dawn Bridwell, Tusculum\u2019s assistant vice president of admissions<\/a>. \u201cAs all of us navigate COVID-19, it is important to recognize moments when we can look out for each other\u2019s well-being and current circumstances. The waiver of the deposit achieves that purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

This newest initiative is one of many ways Tusculum helps incoming students. Another is the creation of the Pioneer 100<\/a>, which assists students who meet certain financial and academic criteria. The Pioneer 100 provides free tuition to any student who is full Pell grant and HOPE scholarship eligible.<\/p>\n
