Hardship Scholarships

Due to the pandemic, many students are facing uncertainty about their academic future. The need to make a St. Thomas education financially possible is greater now more than ever.

You can make a transformational difference in students' lives by making a gift to the Hardship Scholarship fund. Tommie Give Day is our opportunity to illustrate what financial support means for today's students and tomorrow's changemakers.

Tommie Give Day Begins in...

 

Tommies Together

When Tommies come together, we do great things. Tommie Give Day is your opportunity to demonstrate the power of purple for 24 hours as you and your fellow Tommies give back to support our current and future students. With the need for scholarships increasing, your gift is more impactful than it's ever been.

Great question! It's up to you, but scholarships are Priority One for us at St. Thomas, and we're focusing on Hardship Scholarships to best support students affected by COVID-19. We believe that everyone should have access to higher education, and scholarships ensure that St. Thomas remains affordable to all students, regardless of their financial means.

While we can't get together like we have in previous years, you can still engage with us and fellow Tommies online. We'll be active on social media all day, so use #TommieGiveDay to show us how you're spreading the word with your friends and classmates. We want to show everyone our commitment to philanthropy and how we're changing lives every single day at St. Thomas.

The Need By the Numbers

Financial need is the number one reason why students withdraw from college. Your support will ensure that our next generation of Tommies have what they need to complete their education.

Avoid Early Withdrawals

In the midst of a struggling economy, students need help to stay in school, graduate and enter the competitive workforce.

Significant Need

More St. Thomas students than you think experience financial need.

Pandemic Effect

The number of students facing financial difficulty is unprecedented due to the effects of COVID-19.

Impact Overcomes Obstacles

Your gift – at any level – will help new and current students immerse themselves in the transformative St. Thomas education.
