Congratulations on being part of something Jumbo!

July 13, 2021

Thanks to you, we are, once again, able to offer a one-year scholarship for a first-generation college student at Tufts. A total of 231 donors generously gave over $30,000 and activated an additional $10,000 gift from the Alumni Council, the elected leaders of the Tufts Alumni Association. Your participation in this crowdfunding campaign shows what is possible when Jumbos across the globe come together around a shared vision, and how that vision can become a reality when we all do what we can. We will make sure to follow-up with the recipient's story.

We are certainly strong together, and continue to build our community through gifts like yours.

Thank you again for your support; it truly means a lot!

June 30, 2021

Thank you!  More than 130 donors like you have generously supported the Tufts Alumni Association First Generation Scholarship.  We've already raised $18,000+ and are getting closer to a $10,000 match from the Tufts Alumni Council! Most importantly, we are supporting incredible Tufts students who are the first in their family to attend university. We have just about 24 hours to go and are working to secure an additional 95 donors.   

Can you share this project with two people in your Tufts network today?  You can forward this update, share the project link, or use the social share buttons on the project page under the video. Thank you for your generosity!
