The Palamountain Benefit

约瑟夫·C. 安妮·T. Palamountain Scholarship Fund 

我们的使命

Anne PalamountainAll proceeds from the Palamountain Scholarship Benefit go to the 约瑟夫·C. 和安妮 T. Palamountain Scholarship Fund, created to honor Skidmore's late president and his wife for their 22 years of dedicated service and leadership at the College.

The scholarship benefit was launched by Anne Palamountain in 1979. Seven years later the Palamountain Scholarship Fund was officially established with a gift from Mr. William Murray and the Samuel Freeman Charitable Trust of New York City. 数千 of donors have honored the Palamountains by contributing to this endowed fund.

The Palamountain Scholarship Fund provides support for students who, because of financial need, might not otherwise be able to attend Skidmore. 援助 from the fund is given annually to financially eligible juniors and seniors whose outstanding academic records and cocurricular service exemplify the unique contribution that the Palamountains have made to 火博体育大学.

You cannot expect a person to come up with creative solutions to complex problems unless you allow that person to develop their own creative tools. We must focus on ways to develop that creative part of our collective mind through education if we are to endure on this planet.”

In 1979, Anne, wife of Skidmore's fourth president, created the Palamountain Benefit to raise resources for students requiring financial assistance to attend the College. Anne's many years of dedication to the scholarship fund and to what is now knows as the Palamountain Benefit has allowed more 超过350 scholarships to be awarded.

Since 1979, the annual Palamountain Scholarship Benefit has been raising funds to make a college education accessible to all students, which was Anne’s greatest passion. While I did not have the privilege of meeting Anne, I know that her legacy and that of her husband Joseph Palamountain, the fourth president of Skidmore, live on. Since the fundraiser’s inception, more 超过350 Palamountain Scholarships have been awarded to directly support our students.
