Your generosity would support scholarships to increase diversity at Tulane and help retain talented undergraduate and graduate students. With your help, we could award more scholarships and open the doors to a Tulane education to deserving students. Expanding scholarships would allow Tulane to enhance our current admission outreach to underrepresented communities, and welcome a more diverse, more inclusive, more representative cohort of students. Scholarships enable students to pursue their lifelong passions — becoming the teachers, government officials, artists, ministers or public health officers we need for a well-rounded society — instead of choosing a career path based solely around repaying their educational debts.

The Center for Academic Equity provides guidance, advocacy and support so that every student has equitable access to academic resources and opportunities. Your gift to support the Center for Academic Equity would help the center serve all students who may face greater challenges when transitioning from their high school experience to the Tulane campus. This includes first-generation students, student participants in programs like Posse and College Track, as well as self-identified students from underrepresented backgrounds. Their success can hinge on the guidance provided as they navigate an unfamiliar social, cultural and academic landscape.

As Tulane continues to increase diversity on campus, it is crucial that the university provides services for all students to succeed. In addition to being a home where diversity thrives, the Carolyn Barber-Pierre Center for Intercultural Life, which includes the Office of Multicultural Affairs, Office of Gender and Sexual Diversity and Office of Religious Life, works throughout campus to catalyze open, dynamic and vibrant learning environments where all students’ histories, traditions and cultures are welcome and respected. Your support of the Carolyn Barber-Pierre Center for Intercultural Life would support a center that brings students together from across racial, sexual, ethnic, national and gender identities to create a hub for diverse cultural, social and intellectual exchanges, events and relationships. The center provides students of color, LGBTQ+, veterans and allied students with advocacy services, mentoring, personal support, leadership development and educational, cultural and social programming to support their social and overall well-being at Tulane and their ability to thrive thereafter.
