The Martha C. Parsons Horizon Fund
The Shubin Family Scholarship Fund
The Martha C. Parsons Horizon Fund was established by veteran faculty member Claire G. Walker and named for her colleague, a Lower School Principal. The Class of 1958 initiated this Fund when they gave Mrs. Walker, their then sixth grade teacher, a gift of $10 to use in the “good cause” of her choice. Today this Fund provides financial aid for students with demonstrated need.
The Shubin Family Scholarship is awarded annually. The earnings from this endowment provide assistance to an Upper School student of color with significant financial need. If there is no such student, then any student with significant financial need is eligible.
The Powel-Carnell Scholarship Fund is awarded to a Lower School child, preferably one who is African American.
The Paul Steven and Margaret Hagan Strasburg Scholarship Fund was established by a bequest in 2007 to enhance educational opportunities for disadvantaged African-American children in Baltimore.
