The Transylvania Fund, our annual giving program, supports scholarships for outstanding students who could not otherwise afford to come to Transy and provides for the greatest needs of Pioneers, all while bolstering the university’s national reputation.
Having a scholarship has given me the flexibility to participate in many on campus organizations and has been incredibly helpful in opening doors for me in the future.
