The Class of 1971 Student Endowment Fund

Established by members of the Class of 1971 in honor of their 50th Reunion in June of 2021. These funds will impact the student experience as recommended by the VI Form students each year. They will be led by members of the Student Council and the Signet Society, or future equivalent. These two groups will survey members of the VI Form for recommendations to inform student leadership's choice for a use that will meaningfully and positively impact students and, by extension, The Haverford School. In determining a use for the funds from the Class of 1971's gift, class leadership will work closely with the Head of the Upper School, VI Form Dean, and the Head of School.
