The TU4Balt Living Learning Community supports students who have been selected to receive the TU 4 Baltimore City Scholarship at Towson University. TU4Balt provides an intensive first-year residential experience for students who may otherwise not have the opportunity to pursue their higher education goals.
Students in the TU4Balt Community can participate in an extended orientation including a math bootcamp to prepare them for college-level math courses. Additionally, students have access to unique programming offered by the Financial Aid Office and the Career Center to contribute to their success at Towson and beyond.
This community is a partnership between the Department of Mathematics, the Career Center, the Financial Aid Office and Housing and Residence Life.
All students awarded the TU 4 Baltimore City Scholarship must live on campus within the TU4Balt LLC. Students in the program are automatically assigned to spaces in the LLC upon completing their housing application.
Returning Students: Students currently living or have previously lived in the LLC are welcome to apply to return to the LLC by applying to be a community mentor or role model in the community. The application for these leadership roles opens mid-February.
New Residents: Only students awarded the TU4Balt Scholarship are eligible to live in the TU4Balt LLC. Those in the program will automatically be assigned to the LLC.
