The Finch College Alumnae Association Foundation makes it possible for today’s women to continue college and begin preparing for professional careers. The Foundation is non-profit organization under 501(c)(3). Funds for these programs are raised through generous donations by our alumnae, annual dues and fundraising events held throughout the year. There are three distinct Finch Foundation programs:

THE FINCH GRANT, an annual program where four community college women entering a four year college are awarded a grant of $1500 which can be used toward any needs to completing college. The selection is determined by a panel of college professors.

THE FINCH SCHOLAR PROGRAM operates in conjunction with The New York Women’s Foundation and provides a part time position for current college students.

THE FINCH COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP AT BIRCH WATHEN LENOX SCHOOL. A secondary school student at this school, also founded by Miss Jessica Cosgrave, receives full tuition for the remainder of her studies at the school. This scholarship is fully funded by Birch Wathen Lenox School and awarded at their discretion.
