The Path Forward Campaign

Endowment

Double Your Gift!

We’re excited to announce a special matching gift opportunity, thanks to the generosity of 2023 Speirs Medalists, Roula and Alan Rossy '79! Contributions will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000. This is a wonderful chance to double your impact and support Selwyn House School. Every gift counts! Together, we can make a difference!

Approximately $1.1M in financial aid is disbursed annually to 16% of secondary students who qualify for financial assistance. The school is extremely fortunate to be able to offer this student support. Funds are available thanks to generous donors who have helped build the school's Endowment through major fundraising campaigns and through Annual Giving.

The Path Forward Campaign will ensure that more financial assistance can be provided.
