Loyal Purple
Give. Grow. Graduate with Pride
Every Horned Frog has the opportunity to leave TCU better than they found it.
The TCU experience is made possible by generations of loyal supporters who believed in investing in students. From scholarships and academic programs to unforgettable traditions, campus spaces and life-changing opportunities, philanthropy and generosity helps transform a great education into an extraordinary one. Tuition alone doesn't make it all possible, generosity does.
Loyal Purple is a group of dedicated TCU supporters who consistently impact the university year after year and make giving back a key part of their TCU experience. It recognizes a commitment to philanthropy and invites students to become part of that story. By making a gift in consecutive academic years as a student, you'll join a community of Horned Frogs committed to leaving TCU stronger than they found it.
Loyal Purple isn't about how much you give, it's about choosing to invest in the future of TCU year after year. Every gift, regardless of size, represents gratitude to the people and programs that matter most to you. Your gift, combined with others, makes a world of difference.
