Endowment & Scholarship Support
The personalized educational experience of Currey Ingram Academy, made possible by our low student-teacher ratio, state-of-the art technology, and exceptional teacher training, does not come without cost.
To provide this premier environment for children who learn differently, it is necessary to charge substantial tuition and fees.
In an effort to serve every student who needs a Currey Ingram education, the school offers tuition assistance to families who qualify. About one-third of Currey Ingram families receive tuition assistance each year, thanks to the generosity of our donors. Yet, our funds are still not ample enough to support every family who applies.

About one-third of Currey Ingram families receive tuition assistance each year, thanks to the generosity of our donors. Yet, our funds are still not ample enough to support every family who applies.
With your endowed or designated gift, however, we can make it possible for students who match our mission to attend Currey Ingram Academy.
The Endowed Scholarship Gift: Plant a seed and watch it grow
The interest earned on an endowed scholarship fund is used annually to provide tuition assistance to qualified students and families. The principle amount of the fund remains intact, thereby perpetually assuring use of the interest earned. As a donor, you can make an endowed scholarship gift by establishing a named scholarship fund, by adding to an already established fund, or by contributing to the general scholarship endowment fund.
