Annual Fund
Engaged learning that develops the inner motivation students need to question, explore and apply understanding to real world problems is at the heart of all we do.
The Annual Fund directly impacts our students and faculty every day. Contributions raised each year for the Annual Fund enable the school to retain superior faculty and staff, ensure small group learning, cutting edge technology, financial aid support, and dynamic programming.
Annual Fund contributions represent approximately 4% of the overall operating budget. Stevens relies on generous Annual Fund contributions from parents, grandparents, faculty, staff and alumni to elevate academics and enhance the student experience. Financial support to the Annual Fund is critical, as tuition only covers a portion of the cost of educating each Stevens student. Each year the Annual Fund is responsible for the growth and improvement of existing programs, as well as initiatives that elevate our academics and enhance the student experience.
This includes:
- Small group learning and in-depth studies
- Professional development for our dedicated faculty, administrators and staff.
- Cutting edge technology programs
- Well-rounded world language program
- Burgeoning instrumental music program
- Spartans Vision Athletic Program
- Outside-the-classroom learning
