Overview
Tuition Freedom Day programs can build a culture of gratitude and loyalty among students helping spur future gifts, yet most institutions have not adopted them. Through conducting a Tuition Freedom Day program, you can highlight the date in the school year when tuition and state support stop and charitable gifts start paying for each student's college experience.
Join us online to learn how to design and execute a tuition freedom day appropriate for your institution. Using Xavier University's Tuition Freedom Day as a model, you will learn:
- How to make the case for your day
- What makes a meaningful program
- Ways to evaluate your day
- How to scale the day for a larger setting
Who Should Attend
Advancement professionals charged with starting or growing a student philanthropy effort will learn how to create a tuition freedom day that increases awareness, instills gratitude, and serves as a building block for a strategic program.
