“More than 7,000 alumni, parents, and friends joined the Campaign in support of our strategic plan for Lawrenceville. Thanks to that support, the Lawrenceville experience will remain transformative for generations to come.”
- The Shelby Cullom Davis ’26 Head of School
Scholarship Aid
$117.8 million in new funding for Scholarship Aid is transforming Lawrenceville's accessibility and making us a more competitive option for families at every step on the economic ladder.
Faculty & Academic Support
The work of our faculty and the academic opportunities available to our students are benefiting from $69.8 million in support for faculty compensation and professional development and programs like the Summer Research Institutes and Harkness Travel. A new 15,000-square-foot maker space in the Gruss Center for Art and Design (GCAD) is awakening the innovator in all our students.
67 New Endowed Scholarship Funds
Campus & Community
Tsai Field House is the focal point of a master plan designed to build on the community culture of House and Harkness. A top-to-bottom renovation of the existing field house, with the addition of a new pool, ice rink, and Tsai Commons for dining, is creating a unique campus hub for athletics, recreation, and coming together over meals.
The Future Transformed
Financial sustainability was a principal goal of the Emerge Transformed campaign - securing the quality of the Lawrenceville experience for future generations. Your support of endowed and annual giving exceeded our expectations and raised the bar for Big Red philanthropy.
The Lawrenceville Fund
At $43.6 million, your gifts to The Lawrenceville Fund, which includes The Lawrenceville Parents Fund, equaled the second largest cash gift to the Emerge Transformed campaign and the third largest in School history.

“The Lawrenceville Fund remains at the heart of our fundraising — powering the programs and priorities established or expanded during the Campaign years, ensuring that a Lawrenceville education remains relevant, dynamic, and accessible.”
- Assistant Head of School and Director of Advancement
The Endowment
Lawrenceville's endowment is the foundation for everything we are able to achieve. A strong endowment supports excellence in the present and ensures that the traditions and values important to us as a School and community will survive in perpetuity.
Nearly half of the $475.7 million raised in the Emerge Transformed campaign was in endowed funds, supporting all the things that make Lawrenceville an outstanding, transformational experience. Donors established 88 new endowed funds during the Campaign - we'll take that as a sure sign of your faith in our mission and direction.
Planned Giving
Planned giving - whether through bequests, insurance policies, IRA rollovers, or trusts - is one of the easiest ways to make a major gift to the School, and during the Emerge Transformed campaign, 93 donors generously chose to leave a Lawrenceville legacy through estate gifts. Their collective support reached $89.9 million, or 19% of the Campaign total.
The John Cleve Green Society honors the alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends who have established planned gifts, including 642 living alumni members in the Classes of 1943 to 2008.
