Senior Airline Discounts & Hilbert College Giving Day Support

Hilbert College is leveraging a fundraising campaign tied to potential Delta Airlines flight discounts to bolster student mental health services and upgrade campus technology. The college’s annual Giving Day, which began Monday, aims to address increasing demand for mental health support and enhance the academic experience through technology improvements.

The fundraising effort is promoted with the tagline “How to Get 15% Off Delta Flights,” a tactic designed to attract attention and donations. Funds raised during Giving Day will be allocated to unrestricted resources, specifically supporting the growing need for campus mental health services, a trend observed nationally, according to the college.

Hilbert College’s Giving Day seeks to unite its community in support of student well-being and academic advancement. The college has seen a surge in demand for mental health services in recent years, mirroring a nationwide trend in higher education. Unrestricted funds are crucial for sustaining these vital resources, officials stated.

Beyond mental health, the college remains committed to upgrading classroom and lab technology. Giving Day contributions will also support these enhancements, aiming to improve the overall academic experience for students.

While many companies have reduced or eliminated senior discounts as of 2025, some airlines and businesses continue to offer savings to older adults, veterans, and individuals with specific needs. Amazon Prime, CVS, Home Depot, and Kohl’s are among those currently providing discounts, though availability can vary by location and eligibility requirements. Kohl’s, for example, offers a 15% discount to shoppers aged 60 and over on Wednesdays. Delta Airlines’ potential discount, as used in the Hilbert College fundraising campaign, has not been independently verified.
