Trent Fund

This is a call to those who believe that real-world experience drives success, inclusive spaces create belonging, and that we rise by lifting others.

When students have the right support, we open the door to momentous possibilities. The Trent Fund provides flexible resources that remove barriers, fuel learning, and open doors to experiences that help students flourish academically, personally, and professionally.

MOMENTOUS IMPACT THROUGH THE TRENT FUND

Students face challenges that can’t always be predicted. The Trent Fund serves as a safety net, providing financial assistance for essentials, on-campus jobs, and experiential learning opportunities, while also enhancing student wellness.

By supporting the Trent Fund, you help remove barriers to education, ensuring talented students from all backgrounds can excel, explore ideas, and fully engage in campus life.

Your contribution also strengthens the spaces where students learn, collaborate, and grow – recreation facilities, wellness hubs, green spaces, and innovative learning environments that foster both academic and personal success.

We build a foundation that helps students thrive, explore, and make a positive impact on their communities.
