  • Financial Aid and Special Scholarship Opportunities at Chadwick School
    Financial Aid and Special Scholarship Opportunities at Chadwick School Chadwick School currently awards more than $4.2 million annually in financial aid to approximately 18 percent of its 870 students in Grades K-12. The MacFarlane and Malone Scholarships are among a number of substantial opportunities for need-based financial assistance available to Chadwick students. The MacFarlane Leadership Scholarship The MacFarlane Leadership Scholarship is a need-based scholarship, awarded to incoming ninth graders who demonstrate high academic achievement, leadership or leadership potential and/or have shown outstanding character. This scholarship is reserved for students with demonstrated financial need to meet the cost of attendance, and whose potential may be supported by Chadwick’s academic, social and leadership opportunities. Uniquely, this will include both U.S. and study abroad program opportunity, with costs covered by the MacFarlane Leadership Scholarship. Ruth and Roger MacFarlane, who are the parents of Chadwick alumni Taryn ’94, Alex ’95, Katherine ’05, and Jessica ’07, established the MacFarlane Leadership Scholarship Fund in 2007 to fund the Scholarship in perpetuity. Ruth MacFarlane is a longtime member of the Roessler-Chadwick Foundation Board of Trustees, and Ruth and Roger co-chaired Chadwick’s Annual Fund in 1996 and 1997. Motivated by the MacFarlanes, an important additional gift of $1.25 million from the Tambour Foundation in March 2014 doubled the number of MacFarlane Leadership Scholars attending Chadwick’s Upper School. The Tambour Foundation’s generous continued investment in the MacFarlane Leadership Scholarship Fund, with three additional grants totaling $2.55 million in May 2018, will increase the number of Scholars to twelve by the 2022-23 academic year.

  • Scholarships Are Awarded Solely on the Basis of Academic Achievement and Humanitarian Qualities, Without Regard to Financial Need Or Ethnicity
    Goals of the Carson Scholars Program The purpose of the Carson Scholars Fund is to recognize and reward outstanding students in the United States enrolled in grades 4-11 who exemplify academic excellence and humanitarian qualities. Carson Scholars receive a $1,000 scholarship invested towards a four-year college or university, an Olympic-sized medal and certificate, and an invitation to a regional recognition ceremony. Their schools receive a trophy (or nameplate) to be displayed. The goal of the Carson Scholars Fund goes beyond instilling an interest in college early on and assisting with the costs of college: 1. Carson Scholars are role models in their schools. The impact of our program goes beyond individual students and families to schools, classrooms, and educational communities. Carson Scholars encourage other students to strive for excellence and serve as peer role models. Our scholarship program is available only to students in grades 4-11. These students have sufficient time to be recognized by their educators and peers, and to have the intended impact on their schools and educational communities. Our research shows that 94% of our scholars feel that being named a Carson Scholar has helped them become role models for other students. 2. Carson Scholars are recognized by their school. As part of the Carson Scholars Program, schools or educational communities are provided with a trophy to be displayed proudly in display cases. The aim is to add value to academic achievements and to refocus the spotlight on education; too often athletic achievements are recognized more than academic success. Carson Scholars are honored for their academics and motivated to continue to strive for excellence.

  • Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission
    CORPORATE PLAN 2021-2024 MARSHALL AID COMMEMORATION COMMISSION (MACC) FOREWORD In 1953 the British Parliament enacted the Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission Act named in honour of General George C. Marshall, in appreciation of the assistance given in the aftermath of World War II through the European Recovery Programme - commonly known as the Marshall Plan. This Act created the Marshall Scholarships and specified that the Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission, or Commission, be established to oversee and manage the scholarships. The Commission came into being that year, and the first twelve Marshall Scholars arrived in the UK in 1954. In his message to the scholars, General Marshall wrote "A close accord between our two countries is essential to the good of mankind in this turbulent world of today, and that is not possible without an intimate understanding of each other." In the years since then, the Commission has overseen what has become a very successful and prestigious scholarship programme for young American students wishing to undertake postgraduate degrees at universities throughout the UK. Indeed, the President of the United States of America recognised the Marshall Scholarships as one of the top academic honours anywhere in the world. The programme’s success can be demonstrated by the positions of significant influence held by many of the 2000 Marshall Scholars to date, including two Supreme Court Justices, the Director of the CIA, an Astronaut, a Nobel Laureate, the former White House Legislative Affairs Director, four Pulitzer Prize winning authors and journalists, an Oscar-nominated filmmaker, several founders of multi-billion dollar enterprises, and numerous innovators and leaders in all branches of science and education.
