Support from Parents

Parents are an important part of the Temple family. We work to keep parents of current students connected to the university through communications and opportunities to make a difference on campus.

Make a Difference
It's a fact that Temple parents make a significant financial commitment to the university from the moment their children enroll. But in order to keep our education a good value, Temple must rely on added support from parents, alumni and friends. Tuition and state funding simply do not cover the entire cost of educating a student. Your gift to Temple will help us provide your child with:

     •  opportunities for scholarships and financial aid 
     •  gifted faculty members who offer a top-notch education 
     •  undergraduate research and internship activities 
     •  upgraded technology, equipment and facilities that keep your 
        student's skills at the top of his or her field

Your support as a parent is fundamental in helping Temple fulfill its mission of providing access to excellence for your child and thousands of other students.



Double your gift
If you or your spouse or partner work for a company with a matching gift program, please take advantage of it by enclosing your employer's matching gift form with your contribution. Use our matching gift search to see if your employer offers a matching gift program.

Temple appreciates support from parents at all levels. Leadership gifts may qualify you for membership in the Russell H. Conwell Society. For more information on ways to participate in annual giving, please visit the frequently asked questions page or contact Erica Siaté at 215-926-2561 or tuparent@temple.edu.
