Stronger Trinity Fund support
Today, annual contributions to the Trinity Fund represent between eight
and nine percent of the College’s annual operating budget—almost double
the contribution a decade ago. This annual support is critical for
closing the annual gap between tuition and the actual cost of a Trinity
education.
