Annual Report 2017 Annual Report 2017 Philanthropy Supports Our Mission Message from Scott Hayter, Executive Director of Advancement ST. ANDREW’S COLLEGE ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Annual Report 2017 Philanthropy Supports our Mission Message from Scott Hayter, Executive Director of Advancement Through our philanthropic efforts, we will ensure the School has the best facilities and programs to support our mission. We have already started upgrading and renovating our four boarding residences, focusing on common areas with new kitchens, and plan to build new shower, sink, and toilet areas. We are seeking support for the revitalization of McLaughlin Hall, our science building, which opened in 1971 and is in need of complete refurbishment to bring it to the required standard of our teaching facilities. We will endeavour to grow endowed funds to bring mission- appropriate students to the College and to provide unrestricted support to School operations. Our endowment has grown to $32 million, but that is not enough to provide the level of scholarship and bursary assistance necessary to sustain our financial aid initiatives. This year, the School’s financial aid budget provided support to 27% of the student body at a cost Scott and Sue Hayter of $2.5 million.
