The Watkinson Now Fund gives the Admissions office the ability to provide multi-year scholarships to new and current students whose only barrier to Watkinson is financial. Every gift to the Watkinson Now Fund helps change students’ lives by giving them the opportunity and benefits of a Watkinson education, including a love of learning, the ability to think critically, the passion to speak up and self advocate when needed, and the power to shape their lives and the world around them.  Each and every gift also creates financial strength for Watkinson by creating a new stream of scholarship revenue in addition to the over $3 million dollars in financial aid that Watkinson awards annually. Each year, nearly 30 students benefit from the Watkinson Now Fund, receiving awards ranging from partial aid to full-tuition scholarships. By supporting the Watkinson Now Fund, donors help create opportunities for talented students to thrive in an inclusive, transformative educational environment
