Taylor Fund: Current Scholarships and Financial Aid

Goal, 2023-24: $3.3M | Secured, April 2024: $2.8M

The Taylor Fund is an annual giving opportunity that focuses on students and enhances our ability to prioritize scholarships and financial aid. Because tuition alone does not cover the entire cost of a Taylor education, these gifts make Taylor more affordable for every student, helping the University continue to be a place where student leaders can thrive, regardless of their financial circumstances.

College tuition costs and student loan debt are at historic highs nationwide. Many students who would most benefit from a Taylor education cannot afford to attend or do so at significant sacrifice of their families. Today, 99 percent of Taylor students depend on financial aid to attend, and a large percentage graduate with more than $26,000 in student loan debt. On average, Taylor annually awards nearly $17,500 per student in financial assistance.

With 100 percent of gifts to this annual fund helping to meet students' needs, it is one of the best ways to express support for Taylor’s mission directly.
