The Skidmore Fund
The Skidmore Fund is one of the few areas that can increase funds to meet the College’s
growing ambitions. Gifts are put to work immediately and touch every aspect of campus
life, such as enhancing students’ educational experiences, supporting world-class
faculty, and providing the College with the resources to fund its most critical priorities.

Scholarship and Financial Aid
Financial assistance continues to grow, with three-quarters of applicants requesting
financial aid. While we are committed to meeting the full need of admitted students,
we cannot fund all deserving applicants on our own. Join us in giving talented students
the support they need.
