Parent Resources
As parents and family members, it’s natural to share in the interests of your children and loved ones. While college is a time to pull back and let your students use their wings, you still want to be a part of the new world they are experiencing.
St. Thomas has resources and opportunities to be involved and support your student’s education. Explore the links on this page to see how.

Unique opportunities for parents
Parent and Family Philanthropic Council
Council members receive invitations to special events featuring key university leaders, where they have the opportunity to socialize and build relationships with fellow Tommie families. All members have made a significant financial commitment to St. Thomas.
Parent Giving Trends
Our Tommie parents and families have a long tradition of supporting student success. This tradition, which reaches back more than 100 years, is in part what enables us to make the St. Thomas experience so transformative and valuable for students today and into the future.
We invite you to join other parents in making a gift.
In the past two years, 1,544 parent households with students attending St. Thomas made gifts totaling nearly $3.6 million to support scholarships and other areas that matched their passions. One in three of those parent households supported the university both years. Many parents sign up to make regular sustaining gifts on a monthly or annual basis. We are grateful!
