INVESTING IN OUR STUDENTS

“ Williston’s financial aid grants help make opportunity accessible to hundreds of exceptional students from all income levels. They are instrumental in maintaining our school’s inclusive and welcoming educational culture.”—ROBERT W. HILL III

For the 2017-18 school year, Williston awarded $6.2 million dollars in financial aid to more than 40 percent of the total student body.

OUR COMMITMENT TO OPPORTUNITY The Williston Northampton School strives to enroll qualified students from various cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Each year, the school provides $6.2 million in financial aid through grants based on the family’s specific need, the strength of the student’s application, and the school’s financial aid resources.

More than 40 percent of our students receive some amount of financial assistance to help bridge the gap between the cost of tuition and family resources. The program’s goal is to open the door of opportunity, creating a vibrant and diverse student body.

Every year, the Williston Northampton School receives hundreds of applications from hopeful students living all across the United States and throughout the world.

Chris Dietrich, Dean of Enrollment

Each spring, we have the pleasure of offering admission to a select group of these remarkable applicants. In choosing a class, we understand that these young people will shape our school community in their time here, bringing unique life experiences and cultural knowledge to our campus.

Indeed, this diversity is what helps create Williston’s distinctively welcoming and inclusive school community.

But as valuable as each new student is to our community, not every family has the resources to afford the full cost of Williston. Our financial aid program

helps bridge that gap, providing grants of varying amounts to ensure that a standout student is not denied the opportunity to join us, and make us better.

As you’ll read in the inspiring stories that follow, this investment yields tremendous returns: those who otherwise might not have attended Williston are achieving great things, and they credit Williston with being a turning point in their lives. Financial aid opened the door, and their time at Williston gave them the purpose, passion, and integrity to do the rest.

FROM WILLISTON TO “THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD”

JOHN BOOTH • Class of 1983 • B.A. from Williams College, M.A. from Fordham University • Member of the Board of Trustees since 2013 • Teacher and Upper School Academic Dean at the Brunswick School, Greenwich, Connecticut

“ Now, I get to hang out with kids and try to help them reach goals they never thought imaginable... all because of Williston.”

John Booth ’83 credits Williston for many of the fortunate turns in his life—rescuing him from the anonymity of his 4,000-student high school on Long Island; spring-boarding him to Williams College, where he met his wife and developed his love of history; even providing him with the nickname Boother, which the 2016 Founders Award winner, Williston Trustee, and independent school dean still carries today. And none of this would have happened, he says, without the school’s financial assistance.

“For a time, we received food stamps and government-issued cheese, eggs, and powdered milk,” he recounted in his 2015 Williston convocation speech, describing his family’s financial struggles. “In fact, the only job my father could land was in Alaska, working the oil pipeline. At age 15, I saw him only once every few months.”

Williston’s generous grant allowed him to transfer to the school, although he still worked summers as a plumber’s apprentice in New York City. (“To protect those who helped me at the time, I cannot fully divulge how I landed a union job at age 16,” he quips.) And he continued working at Williston through the work-study program, assigned the job of picking up attendance slips and delivering them to the Schoolhouse. “I was given 45 minutes to complete the task— sun, rain, or snow,” he recalls. “I was paid the minimum wage at the time, $3.35 an hour. That totaled to a whopping $12.56 a week. And with that money, I did my laundry and, hopefully, had a few bucks left over to go to the 7-Eleven one night a week after study hall.”

Williston’s investment has clearly paid off. At Williams, John earned his B.A. in history and was a Herbert H. Lehman Scholar, and later earned his master’s in American history at Fordham University.

He taught in Japan before returning in 1991 to teach at the Brunswick School in Greenwich, CT, where he was chairman of the History/Social Sciences Department from 2000 to 2013. He became a Williston trustee in 2013 and serves as the head of the Strategic Issues Committee. “John’s educational experience is a tremendous asset to the board,” notes Head of School Robert W. Hill III. “When school-related issues come up, he is the trusted voice in that room.”

In 2007, John and his wife, Laura, also established The Booth Family Scholarship, in honor of the Class of 1983 and in memory of John’s classmate Brian W. Jopling ’83, who passed away in 2005. The fund provides need-based financial assistance.

At Brunswick, John now teaches AP U.S. Government and Politics, Understanding 9/11, and Modern China and Japan, and serves as the Upper School Academic Dean. “I have the best job in the world,” he told the gathered students in 2015. “I get to hang out with kids and try to help them reach goals they never thought imaginable…all because of Williston.”

GAINING THE CONFIDENCE TO DO ANYTHING

MORGAN FOGLEMAN • Class of 2016 • Wake Forest University, class of 2020 • Hometown: South Kingston, Rhode Island • Recipient of the Sarah B. Whitaker Memorial Scholarship and the Herbert and Connie Futter Academic Merit Scholarship

“ Because of all the time people had put into me, I really felt that I was capable of doing things that otherwise I would have thought were too hard.”

Morgan Fogleman ’16 had just started her first semester at Wake Forest University when she made a bold decision. Instead of taking French, as she had at Williston, she would try an entirely new language: Arabic. “All my friends thought it was the craziest thing to do, to start a new language, with a new alphabet, in your first semester of college,” she recalls. “And I was like, oh, how hard can it be? I can do anything!”

What gave her that confidence, says Morgan, is Williston.

“When you have a lot of people—teachers, dorm parents, coaches— investing a lot of time in you, you personally feel much more capable,” she explains. “Because of all the time people had put into me, I really felt I was capable of doing things that otherwise I would have thought were too hard, or take too long, or require too much effort. Now I know that when you put a lot of work into things, you are capable of reaching new heights.”

Growing up in South Kingston, Rhode Island, Morgan was preceded at Williston by her sister, six years her senior. As a kid, Morgan would often visit campus, running around the field at her sister’s lacrosse games. When the time came to start thinking about a school for her, she says, Williston already felt like home. But choosing where to go was just the beginning of the process.

“My parents made it very clear that going to a private school is a luxury, not a necessity, so unless it could be affordable, it was not something on the table for me,” she says. “I felt I was fighting two battles: one, trying to get into a school—taking tests, interviews—then, additionally, my parents had told me, You can get into every school you apply to, but unless it’s paid for, you’ll just stay at home.”

Williston came through with a financial aid package that met her family’s needs, and Morgan made the most of the opportunity: taking seven AP classes as she played three sports (field hockey, hockey, and lacrosse), serving as proctor in Memorial Hall East, tutoring in the Writing Center, being named an AP Scholar with Honor in 2015, and receiving a National Merit Letter of Commendation, to name just a few of her achievements. “I still think about how much my experience there shaped me, really. And in so many ways other than academically,” she says. “I was challenged and given a lot more agency with the kind of classes I was taking, and that has paid off a ton in college.”

Which perhaps explains why she jumped at that chance to study Arabic as a freshman. It was a decision, it turns out, that opened a new door for her. “I’m actually going to minor in it,” she reports. “And I’m hoping to study abroad in Jordan this summer. We’ll see how it goes after that!”

WHY THEY GIVE

In notes accompanying gifts to the school, alumni and parents often describe the life-changing effects of financial aid. Here’s a sampling of comments from the past year.

“ Williston was a major turning point in my life. I will be forever grateful for the opportunities that a grant to attend Williston afforded me.” “ The education I received at Williston is one of my most cherished gifts. I would not have had that opportunity without the generous support of donors, so although my gift is small, I hope that it can help.” “ I had the good fortune of a very generous aid package that allowed me to spend three years at Williston pursuing athletic and academic excellence.

Hopefully my contribution helps another student do the same.” “ Northampton School for Girls was a pivotal time in my life. I appreciated the assistance given me then to make it possible.” “ We are so thankful our daughter was able to attend Williston. It was amazingly fulfilling to watch her grow and develop and we are so thankful for the opportunity she had there.

Please continue to offer this great opportunity to students who need financial aid support.

Know that it is a lifechanging opportunity!”

A CHANCE TO DISCOVER HERSELF

A’KAYLA WILLIAMS • Class of 2018 • Wight Foundation scholar • Hometown: East Orange, New Jersey • Recipient of the Hess Family Memorial Scholarship

“ I never thought I would see myself choreographing dances for the dance concert, or being a proctor, or being an international student mentor. It’s something Williston brought out in me.”

THE LASTING GIFT OF THE ELM TREE SOCIETY

A’Kayla Williams ’18 was a middle school student at Team Academy, a KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program) charter school, in Newark, New Jersey, when she first heard about the Wight Foundation, an organization that provides academic and financial assistance to students from the greater Newark area who are interested in attending boarding schools. No one in her family had ever gone to a boarding school, but for A’Kayla, “it was an option that I thought I could do.”

She was accepted into the program, completed its elevenmonth academic preparatory course, and began exploring the many independent schools that are part of the Wight Foundation’s network. She applied to ten, touring nine, including Williston, which impressed both her and her mother. But ultimately, she says, financial aid would be the deciding factor. “Whatever school gave the most money would be the school I went to,” she says. “Williston gave the most.” The Wight Foundation also contributed with a grant.

As it turned out, Williston proved to be the ideal fit for A’Kayla. “I wouldn’t change anything from my four years here,” she says. “It’s a place that I can call home, and I’m really comfortable being here.”

In particular, she says, she has enjoyed trying new activities and discovering that she had strengths she had not recognized before Williston. “I never thought I would see myself choreographing the dances I would do for the dance concert, or being a proctor for two years, or being an international student mentor, and being a part of the multicultural student union here,” she says. “It’s something Williston brought out in me.”

Perhaps even more significant, Williston has changed how she views herself in the world. “Coming from a community where mostly everybody looks like me to a boarding school here in Easthampton, I’m the minority, and it made me feel like this is what the real world is going to feel like,” she says. “It’s taught me how to engage with other people who don’t have the same perspectives I do.”

With graduation on the horizon, A’Kayla has set her sights on Spelman College in Atlanta. Her eventual goal: a career in medicine.

Membership in the Elm Tree Society is extended to individuals who have provided for the Williston Northampton School in their wills or living trusts, designated the school as a beneficiary of a life insurance or retirement plan, or funded a lifeincome gift for the benefit of Williston. Today, more than 210 alumni, parents, and friends are members of the Elm Tree Society.

Beginning with the first bequest from Samuel and Emily Williston, the Williston Northampton School has been built on the generosity of those who are determined that the institution fulfills its purpose. The Elm Tree Society, established in 1992 by former Trustee Alan Dayton, provides a creative way for supporters to continue their generosity beyond their lifetimes.

Gifts from Elm Tree Society members are investments in the future of the school. The funds support the Williston Endowment, make new facilities possible, underwrite faculty development, and provide financial assistance for deserving students. To find out more about the Elm Tree Society, please contact Patrick Burke, Director of Advancement (pburke@williston.com; 413-529-3305).

12 YEARS AFTER: THE IM Lee Greener is not just Williston’s Director of Financial Aid; she is also one of its beneficiaries. Growing up in Monson, Massachusetts, she transferred to Williston as a sophomore, a move made possible by the school’s financial assistance. Malcolm Boyd grew up in New York City, and also received financial aid from Williston. The two first met at Williston on the basketball court, over a game of Horse (both played basketball as Wildcats). After graduation, Lee studied accounting at the University of South Carolina and worked at other boarding schools before returning to Williston two years ago. Malcolm earned his M.B.A. from New York University and now works in that school’s Investment Office.

Lee Greener: What stands out today about your experience at Williston?

Malcolm Boyd: What I really got out of Williston, looking back, was the inclusiveness that Williston provides. It’s a community that’s really welcoming, and appreciative of different cultures and backgrounds. There was never a point when I felt like I didn’t belong. High school is difficult time for any student, but I think the fact that I went to Williston, experienced different students from different backgrounds, really had an impact on my life today. With what is going on the country now, having that Williston background has made me be not too quick to judge someone. I try to get to know every person I encounter before making any judgment.

LG: What were you involved in?

MB: A little bit of everything! My senior year, I did my first on-stage play for someone’s senior project. I wasn’t very good at it, but I did it. Obviously, I did sports for my three years. There is so much to do at Williston. There is no point in saying no to anything. I tried to get involved as much as I possibly could.

LEE GREENER • Class of 2006 • B.A. from the University of South Carolina • Director of Financial Aid since 2015 • Recipient of the Monte Kimball Scholarship

LG: Did financial aid play a role in your search and decision process for high school?

MB: It did. I was coming from a single-parent household, and obviously a ticket to go to Williston isn’t cheap.

Financial aid was a major piece of my going there. As a 16-year-old kid, I didn’t realize the importance of it, but I’m sure to my mom it was a huge factor.

LG: How does your experience at Williston impact how you give back today?

MB: I know how important it is for alumni to give back to schools. I work at NYU’s endowment now, so I completely understand it. I wish I could give back more. I try to make it part of the annual thing I do. I know there are a lot of

PACT OF WILLISTON kids that don’t have the same opportunity because of finances, so if I can give just a little bit here and there it goes a long way. I understand now the importance of it.

LG: What one piece of advice would you give to alumni?

MB: Give back. But a bigger tip would be, reflect back on the experience. A lot of times we get so bogged down with our day to day lives that it is hard to go back 15 years and think about where we were, what we were doing, the life we were living. So put yourself back into that 16-yearold’s shoes and try to reflect on those experiences. See the importance of giving back. Those years at Williston shaped us. It shaped me into who I am today.

LG: How would you describe the impact of financial aid at Williston?

MB: Campus has a very diverse group of students, and a lot of that has to do with financial aid. From my experience, the inner city kids that went to Williston, most if not all my friends, had financial aid. The deep root of financial aid creates that diverse community that Williston is built on. There are so many students who wouldn’t be able to go to Williston if financial aid wasn’t a thing for them. Obviously there are many other things that create a diverse community. But when you get down to it, there’s a bunch of kids on that campus that probably couldn’t go to the school without financial aid. So it is very important.

LG: When you think back to your time at Williston, what comes to mind?

MB: I struggled with math in high school. And now that I do math for a living, I look back on Mrs. Conroy and all those late nights at the table in her kitchen. I’d be there at least once or twice a week getting extra help. She really took the time and put the effort in. That’s one thing about Williston teachers: they actually care. I’m a big believer that the public school system, especially in New York, needs to change drastically in order to improve the community and the city. But it starts with teachers, and Williston has great teachers who care about their students.

LG: Any final thoughts?

MB: I’m just really thankful for the opportunity. I grew up in New York and easily could have gone to one of the local public high schools, but it was a great experience to get away and live in some far away land in Western Massachusetts. That was a life-changing experience for me, and who knows where my life would be now if I didn’t have that Williston experience? So I’m really just grateful to whomever in that admissions office thought, “Yeah, he’d be a really good fit.”

THE VITAL ROLE OF THE WILLISTON NORTHAMPTON FUND Williston’s endowed funds (listed on the following pages) allow the school to provide aid to dozens of worthy students each year.

But another important source of financial aid is the Williston Northampton Fund.

Gifts to the Williston Northampton Fund may be directed to support specific programs, such as academics, faculty development, the arts, athletics, the campus, and financial aid. Gifts directed to support financial aid are spent down as they are received. Funds are used annually to provide assistance for students demonstrating financial need, using the same criteria as those used to award aid from endowed funds. These directed gifts can have an immediate impact: $50,000 in the Williston Northampton Fund for financial aid is the equivalent of having an endowment funded at $1 million (assuming a draw of 5 percent).

The importance of both forms of aid cannot be overstated.

Over and over again, we hear from alumni who attribute their lifelong success to the intellectual and personal growth they experienced during their time at Williston. For many, attending Williston was made possible through financial aid. Sustaining our robust financial aid program helps assure Williston’s continued quality, and contributes to a learning environment in which all students benefit from the diversity of their peers’ experiences. The Williston Northampton Fund plays a key role in making this possible.

DEVON GREENWOOD • Class of 2013 • B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania • Hometown: Easthampton, Massachusetts • Paralegal with the Federal Defender Program in Atlanta • Recipient of the Martha D. Grinnell ’85 Scholarship, the William C. Hill Scholarship, and the Herbert and Connie Futter Academic Merit Scholarship.

“ Now those principles are guiding my career choices. The direction Williston gave me has been very important.”

FINDING HER PASSION

Just after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Devon Greenwood ’13 was hired as a paralegal with the Federal Defender Program, in Atlanta, where she now works on behalf of death row inmates in the group’s Capital Habeas Unit. As challenging as the job is, it is not the first time that Devon has had to deal with difficult cases: for much of her time at Williston, she was a member of the Discipline Committee, offering recommendations on the behavior of her fellow students. Experiencing that responsibility at a young age made a powerful impression on her, she says, and has given her a new appreciation for how Williston prepared her for later life.

“In talking to friends in college, they’d say ‘My high school would never let a student do something like that,’” she says.

“Opportunities like that really made me more confident. I feel like I had a voice, and people cared what I thought.”

Devon had always wanted to attend Williston. Her mother, Shannon Shaughnessy Greenwood ’83, and two uncles were alums, and she grew up in Easthampton, attending summer camp at the school (her two younger brothers, Aidan and Tyler, graduated in 2015 and 2017). “My heart was definitely set on Williston,” she says. At the same time, she adds, “I knew that I wouldn’t be able to go to Williston, or any prep school, without financial aid. We were lucky that Williston was so generous.”

Devon was a day student, but between sports—she ran crosscountry and track—and other activities, she immersed herself in the community, “and that’s what contributed to it being so meaningful to me,” she says. “I found my people there.” A tutor in the Writing Center and with Areté, she was a member of the Cum Laude Society as a senior and won the Sarah B. Whitaker Prize at graduation, as the top young woman in her class.

At Penn, where she majored in Urban Studies and Law and Society, Devon continued to benefit from her Williston experience.

“It was almost overwhelming how much free time you had,” she says. “My experience juggling things before college helped me to balance schoolwork, part-time jobs, and clubs.” Her study of the death penalty issue persuaded her to pursue work in that area, and after a rigorous application process, she was hired to her present position. It’s a choice that feels in keeping with all she learned at Williston.

“You know, they always say the ‘Purpose, Passion, and Integrity’ thing, and I thought it was cheesy at first, but now those principles are guiding my career choices. When I learned about death penalty issues, I got so fired up and thought, This is my passion. I believe that what’s going on is wrong, and that it’s my responsibility to do something about it. The direction Williston gave me has been very important.”
