Tuition revenue covers about 75% of the cost of a Fessenden education each year. The Annual Fund, along with income from Fessenden’s endowment and auxiliary programs, makes up the difference. The critical unrestricted support from annual giving helps Fessenden address critical needs such as: Competitive and compelling faculty salaries and benefits Providing financial aid for qualified students Supporting academic, artistic, athletic, and extracurricular programs Maintaining the School’s facilities, buildings, and grounds
