The Endowment

Part of leaving a lasting legacy for the future is to grow the endowment fund. Canterbury School seeks to grow its endowment fund by $3 million. The endowment supports the following areas:

• Student Financial Assistance: Endowment is sought to maintain Canterbury’s significant commitment to need-based financial scholarships. The school awarded more than $800,000 in 2005-2006.
• Endowed Faculty Chairs: To attract, reward and retain outstanding faculty, Canterbury will continue its program of fully endowed faculty chairs, as well as endowments for department chair stipends.
• Faculty Professional Development: Outstanding faculty retains their excellence through opportunities to learn, grow and develop professionally. Endowment grants demonstrate the school’s commitment to continuous improvement in its academic program.
• Libraries & Technology: Expansion of endowed library and technology programs is essential if students are to have the resources they need to support their academic development.
  
• General Endowment: To meet current and future needs and to be responsive to the changing requirements of a dynamic educational program, the school must build its general endowment.
