Wooster’s endowment provides permanent support to fulfill our mission, guided by the founding cardinal principals of Religion, Intellectual Excellence, Simplicity and Hard Work, to provide responsible stewardship to the intellectual, spiritual, ethical, physical, and aesthetic development of boys and girls of diverse backgrounds. Endowed funds for financial assistance, a distinguished teaching chair, exploration of an emerging academic area, or special use may be established at a variety of levels. The School's priorities are dynamic and diverse, and donors are able to match their philanthropic interests to a wide range of needs.
These funds distribute to the Wooster School, in perpetuity, income and realized capital gains.
Perhaps the most influential and life-transforming gift a donor can ever make, a named scholarship or a named teaching chair provides critical assistance to deserving students and empowers the School to attract and retain a stellar faculty.
