Class of 2021 Pays It Forward Though Fifth Form Gift Campaign

Today the Class of 2021 will launch The Fifth Form Gift campaign, a tradition at The Lawrenceville School. As soon-to-be members of one of the best alumni communities around, the class aims to honor their Lawrenceville experience by paying it forward. Fifth Formers, led by a gift committee of their classmates Courtney Abbott, Betsy Kelly, Grayson Miller, and Shaan Singh, will raise money for The Lawrenceville Fund during the week-long campaign.

The Lawrenceville Fund is a vital part of the School’s finances. Tuition alone accounts for only about 60 percent of the cost of a Lawrenceville education. Income from School’s endowment and The Lawrenceville Fund makes up the difference.

The student-led committee has interactive games and Instagram posts on @LvilleSchool and @LvilleAlumni planned throughout the week to show the Class of 2021 the importance of giving back to The Lawrenceville Fund. As an added bonus, the House that has the highest participation will receive House Cup Points, and all Fifth Formers that make a gift (of any size) during the campaign will have early access to the coveted Fifth Form L’21 hat!
