About the campaign

This is our moment.

We’re ready to tackle this challenge, because we’re doing it for our students – their education, their futures, and their work. It’s time to come together and step up for those who will create the TU of tomorrow.


FOR STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS

We are determined to expand access to a TU education for driven learners from all backgrounds, which means providing scholarships and crucial support. When you contribute to support student scholarships, you ensure:

Every incoming student has what they need to thrive from the moment they arrive on campus.
Transfer and graduate students from all backgrounds can come to learn at TU.
Student-athletes have the scholarships and support they need to win in any arena.


FOR STUDENT EXPERIENCES

We will encourage and support learning opportunities that happen outside of the traditional classroom. The impact of these enriching experiences create a holistic education that allows students to excel. Your gift will help:

Fund student athletics
Support students who pursue global study
Provide funding for and access to internships
Drive firsthand discovery and experiential learning outside the classroom


FOR OUR WORK

We invest in our faculty and academics to advance learning, research, and innovation. By supporting the employees and programs that shape TU’s academic excellence, we prepare students and alumni for leadership in a changing world. Your generosity will:

Fund programs that are on the leading edge of discovery
Make it possible for our faculty to travel internationally and conduct and share their novel research efforts
Sustain the research of undergraduates, as well as master’s and doctoral students
Drive innovation that solves real-world problems and leads to prototyping, patenting, and intellectual property licensing


FOR OUR CAMPUS

We are improving and modernizing the spaces where students learn, collaborate, and build community. With thoughtful updates, we are creating a campus that supports connection, creativity, and well-being. You can contribute to:

State-of-the-art centers where students and faculty from different disciplines can explore problems and conduct research together
More spaces designed to cultivate collaboration and bring ideas to life
A transformative North Campus expansion
New labs and equipment for health and natural sciences
An indoor athletics facility


FOR OUR TULSA

We’re strengthening the relationship between TU and the city we call home. As Tulsa grows in national stature, TU will play a central role in supporting the city’s evolution – through workforce development, cultural engagement, and partnerships that reflect our shared future. Join us as we:

Preserve TU’s priceless collections and ensure their accessibility
Honor and document the legacy and presence of our region’s Indigenous people
Spur innovation and enrich our city by attracting top global talent

Real voices. Lasting change.

“Because of the presidential scholarship, my parents don’t have to worry about helping me through college — and my brothers have more opportunities to chase their dreams, too.”

“Home. That’s how I’d define TU. It’s a place that’s small so that students can be big.”

Emma Keevy

“It’s challenging work, but my mentors guide me through the process. It’s a lot of hands-on learning as well, in a more practical setting. You get to learn more outside the classroom.”
