Endowments are gifts that provide Pinecrest Academy with perpetual income. Allocated income from the investment of gifts is used to fund programs and initiatives designated by the donor, thus providing an ever-increasing stream of funding. Endowments are essential for the long-term security and growth of the school. Endowment funds are established with a minimum gift of $10,000 to Pinecrest Academy.
Endowed scholarships, provided by these gifts, help to ensure education opportunities for students enrolled at Pinecrest Academy. Full and/or partial scholarships are currently awarded to eligible students. Criteria for each endowed scholarship, is listed below. Unless the scholarship is a merit-based scholarship, families must apply and demonstrate the need for financial assistance (see website tab ‘admissions/tuition assistance').
