Giving

Office of Devlopment

Tarleton is a state university, so why does it need my gift?

Did you know that Tarleton only receives approximately 34% of its operating budget from the State of Texas? This low percentage surprises a lot of people.

So what sources of revenue make up the other 66% of the budget? Students, through their payment of tuition and fees, contribute approximately 37%. The remainder comes from contracts and grants, sales and services, investment and other income, and gifts.

Gifts make the difference. They help ease the financial burden of a deserving student trying to obtain his or her degree. They also allow the University to go beyond providing the basics. Here are just some examples of what gifts can do:

• provide scholarships

• enhance programs

• support professors

• renovate existing facilities

• build new facilities

So you see...your gifts are truly necessary to make a positive difference in the lives of our students and to help Tarleton continue to be a great university, as well as an outstanding educational value!

Give to Tarleton!

"I am teaching today because of the scholarships I received while at Tarleton. I saw each scholarship as a direct investment in my life as a teacher. That investment will continue to grow as I invest in each of my students in the classroom. It is a gift that keeps on giving."

"It is such a wonderful feeling knowing that I will have a minimal amount of debt to repay. I have the scholarships I received at Tarleton to thank for that."
