Enhance Access & Opportunity
Through need- and merit-based scholarships, we will open doors for motivated and talented boys to find their place—and their future—at US.
A broad range of student experiences, talents, and voices strengthens the foundation of our school, where boys learn not only from teachers but from one another—expanding horizons, deepening empathy, and helping form responsible global citizens. From this rich community, boys are supported and free to forge their own path to success and fulfillment.
Gifts to the campaign will support increased financial aid and outreach, connecting US to our broader Northeast Ohio community and reflecting the vibrancy of our region within our student body. Funds will also support exceptional co-curricular programs, ensuring that every boy can pursue his unique interests to the fullest and uncover new passions along the way.
Priority Goal: $50 million
