<p class="fontlook">The Annual Fund is essential to Carrollton’s success in the education of our students.  Tuition alone does not cover the School’s full operating costs.   Carrollton relies on annual giving and special events to close the gap between the actual cost of a student’s education and her tuition.  The 2008-2009 Annual  Fund represents 4.3% of the operating budget as it provides:

<UL>
<LI class="fontlook">         Enhancement to the educational and co-curricular programs

<LI class="fontlook">         Need-Based scholarships

<LI class="fontlook">        Assistance to the arts and athletics programs

<LI class="fontlook">         Professional development for faculty
</UL>

<p class="fontlook">With the leadership of Annual Fund Parent Chair Nacira Gomez  (Alexandra 2018, Carolina 2017, Gabriela 2015), the 08-09 Annual Fund set new records at Carrollton.  Participation was our focus and look at our achievements:

<UL>

<UL>

<p class="fontlook">On behalf of all Carrollton students, we thank our dedicated supporters who helped us achieve our  Annual Fund goals and make possible  our mission to educate young women of courage, conscience and confidence.
