Your $75

Why $75?

The Trinity Western University Student Association (TWUSA) is the student-elected leadership and exists for three core reasons: Community, Services, and Advocacy. The Student Association Fee of $75 pays for these student benefits. TWUSA’s services include free printing, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, equipment use, and bicycle rentals. It also covers the production cost of Trinity's student-led media organizations: Mars’ Hill magazines and the annual Pillar yearbook. TWUSA hosts over a dozen campus-wide events, as well as school and faculty-specific events, and sets aside a portion of the Student Association Fee in order to fund student-originated campus initiatives, TWUSA club events, and more.
