Your Impact

Last year, more than 100 Shaw Society members contributed a combined $700,000 in unrestricted philanthropic support. These gifts help fund the core operation of our School—providing student scholarships, faculty support, tools and materials, or special initiatives—NBSS students and instructors feel the impact of donors’ generosity every day.
