Scholarship Funds

Many of our students are funded by the jurisdiction of their local public school because The Lab School can provide the intensive support and unique highly individualized education that the student needs. Many other parents pay tuition which covers a portion of the cost of educating their child. Lab School has always strived to be a school that offers its specialized education to all who could benefit from it. We are always working to provide more scholarship support for those families who need it.

Any gift may be designated by the donor to support our scholarship fund. Just note “Scholarships” on your check or with your credit card payment.

Staff Sponsored Scholarship Fund - The Lab School faculty and staff created this scholarship, and supports it generously. A staff committee determines the student(s) to whom it is awarded. Donate online now.

The Stephanie Adler Memorial Scholarship Fund – established by her family to honor the memory of a wonderful Lab School student. These funds are used as bridge loans for students awaiting funding, until the fund grows to become an endowed Scholarship. Steffi was an avid thespian. To honor her memory, each February her family and friends hold a pre-theater dinner before a benefit performance of the annual student/faculty theater production.

This year’s Stephanie Adler Benefit Dinner and Theater Performance was held on Sunday, February 8, 2009, and was another lovely event.  Attended by Lab School alumni, past parents, faculty and staff, as well as several of Steffi’s friends and family, the entire group was touched by the special remarks shared by Steffi’s twin sister Becky, and her dad Dick Stratford. Everyone was delighted by the hilarious faculty/student performances in The Treasures of Arkham. Thank you to Shaun Miskell, all the actors and everyone who helped make this a fabulous event!

Contributions to this fund are welcome year round, and be made by completing and returning the form on the 2009 invitation below, or by donating online by clicking the Donate Now button above.
