YHS Foundation

Transformative opportunities for generations of students

The York House School Foundation is the cornerstone of our motto Not for Ourselves Alone—ensuring exceptional students from all walks of life can discover their path at York House. Thanks to generous contributions to the Annual Giving Campaign or by establishing a Planned Gift through the Legacy Society, the YHS Foundation provides and maintains funding for scholarships, financial aid, awards, program enhancements, and special projects. 

Each year the YHS Foundation provides financial aid to a number of York House families. The spark and spirit of these Yorkies make our community brighter.

Scholarships

For nearly 100 years, exceptional young people have come to York House for an education that goes deeper than tests or textbooks. The YHS Foundation offers financial aid and scholarships to ensure we can continue to welcome students with a range of diverse perspectives and experiences into our community. Recipients are expected to honour their commitment by maintaining the standards and criteria that qualify them for their scholarship. For more information, please contact Mabel Lim, Director of Enrollment Management.

 

We always welcome the establishment of new endowment funds to expand opportunities for Yorkies. The purpose of the scholarships determines the amount of investment needed. For more information, contact Nik Williams-Walshe, Executive Director of Advancement.
