Leave a Legacy

Thomas Parkman Cushing founded Cushing Academy with a bequest, leaving a legacy that has been the basis for the education of thousands of young people for 150 years. The generosity displayed by Thomas Cushing has been echoed by many friends, alumni, and parents at Cushing who have also made planned gifts to the Academy and who have been recognized as members of our 1865 Society.

We invite you to leave your own legacy.

Whether it is a bequest, a life income gift, a life insurance policy designation, or something else, you can help lay a foundation for Cushing’s future success.

Donor Creates Class of 1950 Worthy Student Scholarship Endowment

Last fall, a member of the Class of 1950 made a generous contribution to the Academy to create the Class of 1950 Worthy Student Scholarship Endowment. The scholarship will be given each year to a Cushing student who is a resident of New York City and who has a financial need. Recipients will be selected by a committee made up of the Dean of Admissions and senior faculty.

The endowed fund was established using stocks as well as a matching gift, showing that a variety of methods can be used to fund a gift. Further, this fund can be added to by any interested donor, increasing its value and the impact it can have on a worthy student.
