Alumni help us make an EMS education possible for people from a variety of traditions and backgrounds. It's a blessing to see our alumni's gifts used in your work and service, and also in how you give back to your learning community.
The cost of tuition covers only about 80 percent of the cost of a student’s year at EMS. Please consider how you might empower future leaders of integrity by making a gift to:
- the EMS Second Century (Annual) Fund
- the Christmas Fund Drive when a student calls or writes
- the Virginia Tax Credit Scholarship program.
- an endowed scholarship
We also invite you to consider a legacy gift by joining our 1917 Circle planned giving program. Bequests from donors are a cornerstone of EMS financial aid.
With gratitude,
Paul Leaman, Head of School
