TU4Balt Community

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.
