Investing in Financial Aid at Trinity
Henry Chavez ’18 talks about the importance of financial aid and how it supports and empowers students like him. Chavez, who came to the United States from El Salvador when he was 2 years old, double-majored in political science and urban studies at Trinity and is now a senior performance agency manager at Google.
Trinity has been selected as one of five colleges by the Schuler Education Foundation for a landmark partnership that promises to raise $60 million to support high achieving, low-income students enrolling at Trinity. In this second year of the Schuler Access Initiative, Trinity joins Barnard College, Centre College, Scripps College, and the College of the Holy Cross as the newest cohort of partner colleges.
As part of this initiative, the Schuler Education Foundation will contribute $20 million for current financial aid, to be spent over 10 years, that Trinity will match by raising $40 million in permanent endowment both for financial aid and for academic and co-curricular programs to support the participating students. The program will focus on students with the highest financial need, those eligible for Pell grants, and undocumented students.
