Freedom from Tuition DayApril 16, 2012 at 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Happy Freedom From Tuition Day! Come celebrate with us the point in the year where the Gustavus Annual Fund starts paying when tuition funds run out for students to cover the cost of their education.

We will have cake to share with those who stop by!

THE GUSTAVUS ANNUAL FUND BRIDGES THE 20% GAP BETWEEN THE OPERATING BUDGET AND TUITION INCOME.

THE ANNUAL FUND IS A MAJOR SOURCE OF FINANCIAL AID FOR STUDENTS. The Annual Fund provides more than 70% of students with student scholarships.

ALUMNI PARTICIPATION IN THE ANNUAL FUND INFLUENCES GUSTAVUS'S RANKINGS in College guidebooks, such as U.S. News and World Report. THESE RANKINGS SERVE TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR GUSTAVUS DEGREE.

THE GUSTAVUS ANNUAL FUND SUPPORTS academic programs, student scholarships, faculty teaching and research, campus technology, green initiatives, and other areas.
