The Necessity Fund
Provide support for essential living and academic supplies like sheets, towels, or laptops.
Help students with the essentials
All Trinity students want to make their new residence hall a comfortable home away from home. But for some students, purchasing essentials such as sheets and towels presents a financial burden. Trinity established the Necessity Fund in fall 2018 to help students cover the costs of basic necessities when they arrive on campus.
There are two parts of the Necessity Fund.
These two packages of the Necessity Fund help with the hidden costs of college and ease the stress of living on a tight budget.
The Dorm Welcome Kit
Provides first-year students with toiletries, linens, and essential items for day-to-day dorm living. Eligible students can opt-in, and the items will be waiting for them when they arrive at their residence hall on move-in day.
The Technology Kit
Provides students with technology needs; laptop, headphones, wifi hotspot, that are critical for current college students to be successful in their day-to-day studies.

Trinity makes sure that everybody feels like part of the community. I use the supplies from the move-in kit every day. It’s nice to know that someone else is willing to invest in my education.
