Financial Aid

December 2020

Dear Colleagues,

Have you seen the final #TuftsGivingTuesday tally? Over 8,500 members of the Tufts community came together to help make a brighter world! If you didn't get to participate in this special day, there is still time to make a gift before this year's Tufts Community Appeal (TCA) concludes.

This week we’d like to focus on how a gift to financial aid through the TCA supports students. The financial need of our student body has increased by more than $4M since the start of the pandemic and its ensuing economic unrest.

In this video, Jacquie Bonnet, A20, shares how financial aid impacted her Tufts experience.

Eric Johnson, Senior Vice President of University Advancement, is challenging us again this year: if 150 employees make a gift to financial aid at any school, he will make a gift of $3,000. We're 82 gifts away! We hope you'll help us reach this year's goal.

Questions? Please contact the office of Government & Community Relations at 617-627-3780 or communityrelations@tufts.edu.

With gratitude,
The TCA Board

PS- This year, three TCA donors will be randomly selected and get to direct a $250 donation from the office of Government and Community Relations to any charity of their choice. The first randomly selected participant is Dr. Meletia Laskou of the School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Laskou has chosen St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital! Give now for a chance to support a cause you love.
