Newly Endowed Funds

The Elizabeth Ahern Buckman ’91 Scholarship Endowment Fund

This fund was established in February 2021 by James and Nancy Buckman, parents of Elizabeth Ahern Buckman ’91, to honor Elizabeth’s memory. Elizabeth attended Lovett from 1984 until her graduation in 1991. Her parents write, “Elizabeth received an outstanding middle and high school education at Lovett. She particularly cherished her Latin studies with Mr. Ken Rau, and her work on the newspaper with Dr. Jean Graham, who was the advisor. Elizabeth would want other girls less privileged than she to have the benefit of a similar outstanding Lovett education.” This fund supports a needbased scholarship for a female student of color.

The Roy and Janet Dorsey Endowment Fund

Established in August 2020, this fund was created in memory of Roy and Janet Dorsey. Its proceeds support the school’s need-based financial aid program, which makes significant grants available to offset the expense of tuition and schoolrelated costs for Lovett families.

The Lovett Parent Association Financial Aid Endowment Fund

This fund was established by the Lovett Parent Association and approved by the Board of Trustees in May 2021. Its proceeds support the school’s need-based financial aid and help to make a Lovett education and experience accessible to more families. This fund is intended to accept contributions from the LPA in future years to grow the corpus of the fund and support financial aid at Lovett in perpetuity.
