ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø

The ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø Trust meets 100 percent of calculated financial need of accepted students through a combination of grants and campus employment. The college community and Board of Trustees made an historic decision years ago that created this rare commitment.

The ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø Trust makes it possible for talented students from all backgrounds to imagine coming to ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø, and for graduates to plan for their futures based on their interests and passions. This approach supports the college’s longstanding commitment to admitting students without regard to their ability to pay.

ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø was the first liberal arts college in the nation to establish this type of program, in part because affordability of education has always been a priority for the college. ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø's founders were determined to keep the cost of education within the reach of many in our land who could not otherwise obtain it. The ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø Trust helps realize that historic goal, and through it, sustains an academic community united by intelligence, curiosity, courage, ambition, and character. By ensuring access for all students, ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø keeps faith with its past and secures its future.

In 2012, ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø alumnus and long-time supporter Edward L. "Ted" Baker '57, made a $25-million commitment in support of The ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø Trust.
