McNair raising $1 million for The Campaign for Leadership and Excellence President McNair is dedicated to making the dream of a Tuskegee education a reality for students by providing scholarships. More than 97% of Tuskegee s 3,000 students receive financial aid. According to Sallie Mae, the typical student receives nearly 30% of their tuition from scholarships and grants. They must then rely on borrowing to fulfill their dreams of a college education. The goal of this initiative is to bridge the gap between the cost of tuition and what the typical student can afford. Charitable giving is an investment in Tuskegee students and their academic experiences. It demonstrates to our students that the entire Tuskegee family is behind them and we are committed to equipping them with everything they need to launch success successful careers.
