STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Tarleton State University supporters are encouraged to donate to areas of campus they care about during Giving Week, April 8-12.

Alumni, faculty, staff and friends may give to a favorite Tarleton State academic program, student activity, scholarship and more at https://givingweek.tarleton.edu/.

Over the past eight years, the university has held an annual giving day, with 2024 marking the first Giving Week.

“Growth in student success, academic excellence and national prominence characterize Tarleton State University as legitimately one of the fastest growing and most dynamic universities in the entire nation,” said Vice President for Institutional Advancement Tony Vidmar.

Give on the day and time convenient for you to whatever area at Tarleton State resonates with your philanthropic desires. Thanks for being counted as one considering to be part of our inaugural Giving Week 2024!”

Donations can also be made in person from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday in the Administration Building.
