All Tufts students receive some kind of financial assistance for their education. Tuition covers just 67 percent of the cost of educating each Tufts student; the remainder must come from other sources. The Parents Fund is one such source.

Contributions to the Tufts Parents Fund are applied to the university’s operating budget and help to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of a Tufts education. Gifts to the Parents Fund also support acquisitions for the university library, athletics, information technology, the purchase of scientific and technological equipment, renovations—and, of course, financial aid. Parents also support specific initiatives such as endowment and building projects.
