We are excited to announce that we will once again be hosting our Scholarship Gala on Saturday, February 13, 2027, in the Keith E. Busse/Steel Dynamics Inc. Athletic Recreation Center on the Angola Campus of Trine University. These scholarship funds are critical in a student's decision, or ability, to attend Trine. Since its inception, the Gala has raised millions of dollars for Trine University student scholarships, last year alone raising more than $2.65 million.
Books and Beyond Scholarship Program
Books and Beyond Scholarship program has become an important part of the University’s annual Scholarship Gala. Trine University students receive financial assistance from institutional, federal and state resources to help them with tuition. In fact, more than 99% of Trine University students receive scholarship grants or other financial aid to assist them with the normal costs of tuition, room and board. However, every year we have students who struggle with finding the money necessary for textbooks, basic school supplies, project materials, etc.
The $500 Books and Beyond Scholarships are funded by donors and given to deserving students, who without this additional assistance would face the stress and pressure of trying to do without these basic academic resources or borrowing additional funds and increasing the debt they will carry following graduation. The Books and Beyond Scholarships assist financially needy students in the following ways: purchase of textbooks, personal computers/laptops, basic school supplies, e-textbooks and project materials. These scholarships can also be used to provide meal and travel assistance for students and tuition gap assistance for eligible students.
Impact students’ lives by supporting the Books and Beyond Scholarship Program. Contributions to the Books and Beyond Scholarship Program will assist deserving students who demonstrate financial need. Sponsorships will go directly to students so they can purchase needed books, computers, school and lab supplies, and meals. Funds also will help students pay modest account balances, allowing them to register for the next semester.
We invite our alumni and friends to respond generously to this opportunity to help our neediest students succeed in their studies at Trine University.
