Third-Century Plan Home About Third-Century Plan IN THIS SECTION Colgate University looks toward its third century with both pride and a sense of possibility. The Third-Century Plan represents the largest and most important transformation in the history of Colgate. It will both complete our physical campus and fully realize our potential to become one of the great institutions in the nation — and, perhaps, one of the most important undergraduate colleges in the country. Key Initiatives The Colgate Commitment Tuition-free for the University’s lowest-income students and federal loan–free for students with family incomes up to $150,000.

The Third-Century Plan is continually monitored by the Board, administration, and faculty to measure progress against its goals and to show effort applied in service of its initiatives.
