Endowments and Scholarships

The Pine Forge Academy Foundation Inc. is responsible for increasing the numbers and amount of funds available through Endowments and Annual Scholarships. These funds provide financial support to students, faculty and other campus needs. Endowments are long-term commitments of permanent funds to support a specific scholarship, academic or operating program as stipulated by a benefactor. Annual scholarships are funded annually to provide financial relief of tuition payments for students needing financial support or meet other criteria set out by the benefactor. Endowments and Annual Scholarships are effective tools to help recruit and retain a diversified and talented student body. Both Endowments and Annual Scholarships are critical to ensuring the financial stability of Pine Forge Academy.
