Newington College Endowment Fund

Recently at the College’s ‘Thank You’ function to our donors and supporters and formally at the Annual Prize Giving night, the College Chairman Mr Tony McDonald (ON 1976) (featured in image above at the 2015 Annual Prize Giving) announced the launch of the Newington College Endowment Fund.

The College Endowment Fund has the sole aim to build its corpus to the point where it can provide 100 full fee paying Bursaries every year from 2040. Bursaries are means tested scholarships and will enable boys from all backgrounds to access a Newington education irrespective of financial circumstances. It is noted that these Bursaries are in addition to the present Academic Scholarships currently awarded and which will continue.

The establishment of the Endowment Fund is an important step to ensure that the diversity of which Newington is so proud can be maintained well into the future. It is an ambitious project but an attainable one, if everybody contributes their little bit.

We ask that you please support this exciting initiative by making a tax deductible donation through the AIS USA Foundation. Please click here to access the AIS USA Foundation website. 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

From all of us at Newington College, we wish our North American Alumni best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Our Director of Community and Development Rod Bosman (ON 1978) will be visiting New York in early October for our biennial reunion which will be very kindly hosted by Dr Peter Green (ON 1964) at his home in Manhattan. We are waiting on the AIS USA Foundation to finalise the date of their 10th Anniversary function and then we can confirm the exact date. If you live near to New York or can schedule a business trip at that time, we would love to see you so Rod can personally bring you up to date with the great things that are happening at Newington.
