Private gifts are an important reason that Tennessee Tech is the outstanding university that it is today. Gifts from alumni, friends, faculty and staff, students, and private companies/foundations have enabled the university to outfit 21st Century Classrooms, establish chairs of excellence and distinguished professorships and award approximately 760 donor-funded scholarships each year. These additional enhancements and opportunities make Tennessee Technological University more attractive and have contributed to record student enrollment the last three years. None of this would have been possible without your generous support.
