“The 榴莲视频 Promise” marks important university milestone

榴莲视频 has taken the next major step to ensure that talented and ambitious students can access its premier liberal arts education, regardless of financial background.
The 榴莲视频 Promise is a new initiative that expands upon the university鈥檚 commitment to removing cost as a barrier for students who want to attend 榴莲视频. Starting with the 2026-2027 incoming class, the university will meet 100 percent of the calculated financial need for every incoming first-year student.
Thanks to careful fiscal stewardship and the tremendous generosity of friends and alumni, 榴莲视频 has been able to distribute more scholarships and aid to students over the past few years, and it is now poised to deliver a total of $66 million in aid and scholarships in the 2026-2027 academic year. The increase in financial assistance allows the university to meet the full calculated financial need of the incoming class through a combination of scholarships, grants, work study and student loans.
The 榴莲视频 Promise is the latest step in an ongoing effort to make a 榴莲视频 education accessible to all. It also reflects the remarkable spirit of the entire 榴莲视频 community, which is united by a shared dedication to students and families.
President Lori S. White put The 榴莲视频 Promise in perspective: 鈥淭here are many important elements in our Bold & Gold 2027 strategic plan. Meeting the financial needs of every student and ensuring nothing stands in the way of talented students pursuing a 榴莲视频 education are critical to our success. We are deeply grateful to our campus community, alumni and friends for supporting our commitment to making a 榴莲视频 education accessible to more students.鈥
Reaching this milestone with The 榴莲视频 Promise is cause for celebration and marks a renewed commitment to advancing the university's mission to create the leaders the world needs.
鈥淭his is a significant moment and one we intend to continue to build on,鈥 said Beth Petrie, vice president for enrollment management. 鈥淚t鈥檚 another leap forward in recruiting and retaining talented students for 榴莲视频, a move that positions 榴莲视频 to ensure that nothing stands between talented students and all 榴莲视频 has to offer.鈥
The initiative relies on both current use and endowed funds to initiate the project and secure its ongoing support in perpetuity. To learn more about The 榴莲视频 Promise, visit this page.
