ELEVATE HIGHLANDERS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME

ENDOWMENT

ENDOWMENT

Your gift to endowment is a vital investment in Highlanders of tomorrow. It is an enduring gift that will support programs and initiatives that are meaningful to you in perpetuity. An endowment’s principal is preserved – never spent – and its earnings provide continued support for generations to come.

PRIORITY areas for ENDOWMENT growth

Lake Highland’s endowment is relatively new and is significantly smaller than those of many peer schools. As our endowment grows, Lake Highland receives more income from endowment investments to support operations and designated purposes, like financial aid, leadership and character programs, faculty enrichment, and STEM.

Our Elevate Highlanders goal is to grow our endowment by $2 million.
Give to an existing endowment or establish a new, named endowment with a gift of $100,000 or more.

Financial Aid

Elevate opportunity.

Provide the exceptional opportunities of a Lake Highland education to talented and deserving students unable to afford tuition. Ensure our student body represents a diversity of backgrounds, talents, and interests, elevating the educational experience for all Highlanders.

Stem

Elevate excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

Ensure Lake Highland remains at the forefront of innovation, offering cutting-edge opportunities in STEM for every Highlander.

Faculty enrichment

Elevate our outstanding faculty.

Expand resources to recruit and retain the very best teachers. Provide exceptional professional development opportunities that keep our faculty on the forefront of innovative classroom strategies.

Leadership & Character

Elevate Highlanders who lead, serve, and change the world.
