Endowment

Marie-Michelle and Paul Pathy ’88 have established this bursary to benefit a deserving student providing full tuition as well as ancillary expenses that will ensure the student benefits from a full Selwyn House experience.

The General Endowment Fund is where all donations to the endowment that are not specifically designated to a named fund are maintained. We are proud to support deserving students who qualify for needs-based bursaries. Requests for financial assistance increase each year and we want to ensure that all students can complete their Selwyn House School education.

This fund supports the equivalent of three full five-year bursaries for students in Grade 7.

The Pathy Family Foundation Bursary is a full five-year bursary awarded to a deserving student entering Grade 7.

The Class of 2007 Bursary Fund was established by classmates in April 2022 in memory of Alex who died on February 10, 2022. Classmates say: "Alex had a special connection with each of us - he could have us in tears of laughter instantly. He was an athlete, a scholar and a man who knew how to live life to the fullest. He embodied and loved the institution that made us who we all are today.  We have this opportunity to show our  support of our fallen brother and younger generations of Gryphons for many years to come." Donations are welcome to start building this fund.

The Class of 2021 established the first “Class Of” bursary for qualified students who may not otherwise have the financial means to attend Selwyn House School.

Donations can be made directly to the fund or by purchasing a print via the Advancement Office. Read more
