Investments from alumni, parents, families and friends help strengthen academic excellence and access at Cumberland University because tuition and endowment earnings alone do not fully cover the cost of a Cumberland education.

The Annual Giving Fund for Cumberland University supports every student, faculty member and program on campus. Current-use support through The Annual Giving Fund allows us to keep our promise to our students, and ensures the continued excellence and affordability of a Cumberland education.

Our mission promises we will provide a quality, affordable education to students from all backgrounds, including those who cannot afford the full cost of our tuition. Without donor support, we would be hard-pressed to keep that promise. But thanks to your generosity, we’re living up to our mission everyday:

• By providing tuition subsidy to nine out of 10 students
• By welcoming Tennessee Promise students, in spite of state reimbursement rates that fall short of our costs to provide an Associate’s Degree
• By maintaining a robust Financial Aid office to help students identify and secure the additional support they need to overcome the rising costs of a college education

If you have any questions or would like more information about giving opportunities, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
