Northfield Mount Hermon’s origin story is one of access. From the beginning, our doors opened to students who would benefit from and contribute to the NMH educational experience. The lives of generations of alumni have been changed because of our school’s ongoing commitment to ensuring access to highly qualified students from across the socioeconomic spectrum.
Scholarship support is the highest priority in our campaign because, quite simply, we believe in the power of an NMH education to transform lives. We embrace our responsibility to ensure that Northfield Mount Hermon is defined by common values and high standards, not by income levels.
Since 2019, we have increased the annual financial aid budget by nearly $3 million, resulting in more than 40 students attending who would not otherwise be able to do so. Meeting our campaign goal will sustain this level of growth and double it yet again. While highly aspirational, this goal is achievable. But it will require unprecedented growth in the NMH Fund and a new generation of donors endowing scholarships to ensure this support for decades to come.
This is the moment to solidify our historic commitment to broad access and diversity, primarily through a renewed emphasis on endowed scholarships — allowing the most promising and deserving students to join, influence, and inspire the NMH community.
