The funds we are able to offer students for financial aid and recognition of academic excellence include gifts from individuals, corporations, and other organizations through annual campaign and legacy giving programs, and through support from various levels of government. We are grateful to our past and present donors for their contributions, which benefit our students and support education and research at Trent University.
