The MSSM Foundation
Since 1994, the MSSM Foundation has raised over $2.25 Million to support the staff and students of MSSM.
The MSSM Foundation has funded grants to support student financial aid, facilities upgrades and improvements, the development of new programming, faculty professional development, student travel, extracurricular activities, and expanding MSSM’s margin of excellence. Here are some examples of the impact we have made due to the generosity of our donors.
The MSSM Foundation works to improve the student experience at MSSM.
Some recent grants that have directly impacted students include: funding student travel to the Berkeley National Laboratory in California; grants for financial aid; summer camp scholarships, funding for student clubs; and covering the costs for a variety of student activities including participation at national and international competitions.
The MSSM Foundation also funds the MSSM Parents Association and the MSSM Alumni Association and partners with those organizations to support our students and alumni.
"We are incredibly lucky to have a partner like the MSSM Foundation. They harness the energy of parents, alumni, friends, foundations and other donors and direct that generosity towards expanding the margin of excellence at the school. I have seen first hand how the Foundation makes vital investments in facilities, student activities, academic programming, and residential life. It's humbling to see so many make MSSM a philanthropic priority." -Rob Constantine, MSSM Executive Director
