SPRING 2023 Investment Report
Dear friends, We remember every step of our Trinity journeys, no matter how big or how small. From our first swipe at Mabee to study abroad experiences and big internships: These are all moments we treasure because we shared them with lifelong friends. I even remember naps in Coates Library fondly … This month, we’re celebrating our current Tigers as they move on to their next big milestones. Some are graduating, and some are heading off to big internships, crossing borders, or doing in-depth research. No matter how big or small, you can support Tigers during all of these moments through one simple step: Your generosity will be the deciding factor for all our Tigers who demonstrate either financial need or are deserving of a merit scholarship. In many cases, students are in both categories! This includes almost 97% of students at Trinity. Together, we can show these Trinity students who are following in our footsteps that we’re still with them, every step of the way. One Trinity. One step.

WHAT TIGERS DO
Nearly half of all Trinity Tigers need financial aid. This need is largely met through scholarships and grants, but it also reaches students through many other sources. When we say every step counts, we mean it. Right now, there’s a Trinity student out there who’s getting help covering the cost of studying abroad, help paying for applications to their dream graduate school program that can cost hundreds of dollars apiece, or having a career-making internship or research project funded. At every step, your generosity is the difference for these students. WHAT TIGERS NEED

WHY I GIVE
”I am forever grateful to Trinity and the education I received and want to stand with my fellow alums in support of where we are heading next!” Iska Wire ’97
“We value liberal arts education, with its emphasis on critical thinking, communication skills, and social responsibility, and we want that type of education to be accessible to students regardless of their financial resources. We view philanthropic support and volunteering as part of our role as members of the Trinity community, and hope we are setting an example for our children through our giving. Our son’s scholarship makes Trinity affordable for our family, and we believe in paying that forward so that future students will
also be able to benefit from a Trinity education.” Nicki Soulé P’25 and Andrew Nix P’25, Parents of Graham Nix ‘25
“I give to Trinity in memory of my grandma Goya, who supported me in so many ways during my time as a student. As a first-generation graduate, college was an accomplishment for my family and me. This is one way I honor her life while also giving directly to organizations like the Trinity University Latino Association and the Mexico, the Americas, and Spain (MAS) Program that supports students with a background like mine.” Isaiah Mora ’18
