FINANCIAL AID ENDOWMENT

The New City School financial aid endowment will provide nearly $185,000 toward the more than $600,000 awarded in need-based financial aid in the 2007-08 school year.  The endowment is restricted to financial aid because New City School was founded on the principle that children of different socio-economic circumstances can and should learn together.  This is a founding principle and an integral component of the New City School educational experience.  While 30% of children - children of all races - receive financial aid, we believe that every child benefits from its availability.  The financial aid endowment is currently valued at approximately $3.8 million.

Gifts to the Financial Aid Endowment can be made at any time in any amount.
