ALUMNI SCHOLARS FUND |
Every year |
Creates an endowment fund to support need-based financial aid, promoting economic diversity and enabling deserving students with financial need to have access to a life-changing Webb School education. This fund is the focus of alumni giving, annually, and reunion fundraising. |
The Alumni Scholars Fund was established by Webb's Alumni Leadership Council and the school's Board of Trustees in the spring of 2014. It is split 70/30, with 70 percent of incoming contributions funneled to the endowment and 30 percent available for current financial aid needs. The 70/30 split will be reviewed once the endowment fund corpus reaches $1 million, at which point the Alumni Leadership Council will re-evaluate this distribution.
