  • Excellence: Donor support funds new and existing programs, equipment, facility upgrades, and research opportunities.

Importance of the Clarke Fund

What does the Clarke Fund do?

The Clarke Fund and its immediate-use dollars enable Clarke to support new and returning students by ensuring financial assistance and keeping tuition as low as possible.

This support helps our students continue their education with the necessary financial resources and support to ensure their success while also providing a safe and caring learning community.
