Pay It Forward

"I enrolled at CSW in 10th grade and was immediately struck by the diversity of the student body. Since I came from a small town in Vermont, CSW was a big change for me. I continue to benefit from those experiences every day. We need to make the unique ethos that is CSW available to today’s young people, regardless of their ability to pay. Planned Gifts from those able to pay it forward will help ensure that these experiences remain a reality."

Marilyn Coburn Kincaid, Class of 1965
