INSPIRING EXCEPTIONAL STUDENTS REWARDING WITH SCHOLARSHIPS
Class OF 1977 Endowed Scholarship
Since our 30th class reunion, we have collected donations to the NCHS Scholarship Foundation in memory of our classmates who have passed away since graduation. With these donations and other classmates' yearly donations, our class has raised enough money to create a named endowed scholarship.
We encourage you to help build this scholarship by donating annually using the form link on this page. If your company has a matching gift program, provide your company information so the Foundation can reach out and take advantage of it.
Your gift will make a difference for a New Canaan High School graduating student who needs financial assistance in continuing his/her education. And it's a great way to honor our NCHS Class of ’77 classmates who left us too soon.
If you prefer to send a check, please send to NCHS Scholarship Foundation, 11 Farm Rd, New Canaan CT 06840 and note Class of 1977 in the check memo.
The NCHS Scholarship Foundation is a broad-based community effort to provide financial aid for New Canaan High School graduates pursuing higher education.
Grant Criteria
Scholarships are 100% need-based. Grants are based on applications placed through the federal student loan programs. All applicants and awards are kept confidential.
