At the Klingenstein Center, we cultivate leaders so that they can better teach, work, lead, and make change for the kinds of schools all students deserve and need to flourish. Klingenstein Center programs aim to support the educators who study with us through generous financial aid. Financial support is critical for developing and keeping highly-talented independent school educators in the field. Your gifts enable us to continue to build leadership and strengthen the profession at every level by increasing the scholarship funds we have to distribute to deserving students.

Pearl Rock Kane Endowed Scholarship
The Pearl Rock Kane Endowed Scholarship was established to honor Pearl and her embodiment and practice of continuous growth, informed leadership, and commitment to keeping her pulse on areas that needed tending on behalf of educators-leaders. Each Kane Scholar demonstrates a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and to continuous learning—two areas Pearl wrote about, modeled, and supported through the Center's programs and curriculum.
