Tri-State University understands and supports the value of students coming from diverse cultures, different socio-economic settings, and religious and ethnic backgrounds.  In a global society, our students must be taught to cope with the many issues, problems and opportunities that diversity brings to the workplace and the community they live.

To promote an educational community that thinks globally, it is equally necessary to continually strive for a diverse student enrollment. The University’s Diversity Scholarship program actively encourages high achieving students from different cultural, ethnic, and racially diverse backgrounds to pursue a TSU educational experience.
