University School of Nova Southeastern University has prepared students for productive lives and leadership roles through a program that focuses on academic excellence, extracurricular participation and service to others.  However University School, like most independent schools and non-profit institutions, operates at a deficit before fundraising and must depend on the generosity of alumni, parents, and friends on an annual basis to bridge the gap between tuition and operating expenses. 

The Annual Fund disburses revenue on a yearly basis and provides funds for day-to-day expenses as well as program enhancements and projects that help University School remain an innovative leader in college preparatory education. While our goal of $200,000 can be met with a gift of $250.00 per family, all gifts, regardless of size, impact our students and faculty on a daily basis and are truly appreciated.

Hopefully, you will welcome the opportunity to provide additional support and demonstrate your commitment to the school.  And when you do, consider that you can direct your gift to an area that most closely matches your interests; Faculty Development, Technology, Fine and Performing Arts, Athletics, Scholarships, Lower School, Middle School, or Upper School. Or request that our Headmaster use the funds where they are needed the most. In the past, the generosity of our donors have made a difference in the lives of our students by allowing us to meet our needs in areas such as computer equipment and software, faculty recruitment and development, science equipment, and athletic facilities and equipment.

We urge you to participate in the 2008-2009 Annual Fund.  The school depends on it.  We are grateful for gifts at all levels and encourage everyone’s participation.  Many employers will match your gift to University School, thus doubling or tripling the impact of your contribution.  Check with your employer to see if you qualify.  Please remember, contributions can be made in a variety of ways and, because University School is a 501c(3) organization, your gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
