All In The Campaign for Blair Academy 2018-2025
Class of 2025 Gift
Class of 2025 Invests in the Next Generation

Blair is a community rich in tradition, and one of its newer customs is creating a scholarship as the senior class gift—a way for graduating students and their families to come together one final time and leave a lasting mark on campus. Since 2019, these gifts have collectively raised more than $1.4 million, all directed to scholarships that make a Blair education possible for deserving students of every background and experience.  

This year, the Class of 2025 proudly continued that tradition. Through the generosity of  families, they raised $156,545 for the Class of 2025 Scholarship. In an amazing show of support, an anonymous parent also generously pledged to match all donations to the Class of 2025 Scholarship, dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000, doubling the impact. 

“One of the most powerful and appreciated gifts a donor can make is a contribution to Blair’s endowed scholarship fund,” said Anna Andrasek, Director of Parent Engagement. “Funds drawn from the endowment are distributed annually to support students who would otherwise be unable to attend Blair. Endowed scholarships are critical, as four in every 10 Blair students receive financial aid.”

Our sincere thanks go out to all those who contributed to the Class of 2025’s gift. Their generosity reflects the values of community and opportunity that have come to define the Blair experience—leaving a legacy that will open doors for generations of students to come.

The summer is an ideal time for Blair students to read beyond the required texts of our curriculum. Short stories, novels, plays, poetry, narrative nonfiction and newer forms of literature, such as the graphic novel, offer the opportunity to follow one’s curiosity, strengthen reading and writing skills, develop a greater understanding of the human condition and, of course, have some fun.
