Brighter World

Brighter World: The Campaign for Tufts is a $1.5 billion comprehensive fundraising campaign that will strategically bolster the Tufts experience and strengthen the university’s international leadership in higher education. Three priorities benefiting our students and faculty guide its progress, and each of these intersects with research bringing novel solutions to pressing global problems. This relevancy to urgent causes infuses the spirit of Brighter World; it instills an optimistic perspective that aims to engage the widest community of Tufts’ alumni, parents and friends, and marks an enduring shift in Tufts philanthropy. This endeavor has already inspired a worldwide community of campaign volunteers, the largest in Tufts’ history. 

Brighter World Causes and Priorities

Access to Higher Education

Tufts believes tuition should not be a barrier to education, and so strives to attract students from all socioeconomic backgrounds with generous financial aid. Because an intellectually vibrant community is inherently diverse and inclusive, the university will continue to expand scholarship resources and to give students the support they need to succeed.
