About

Help us reach our Giving Day goal of 530 donors โ€“ one for each current Marlborough student โ€“ in just 24 hours. Give now!

At Marlborough, the possibilities are truly limitless. Here, each student finds their own unique path, and we help them navigate it. Whether in academics, extracurricular activities, the Marlborough community itself โ€“ or a wonderful combination of all three โ€“ every student has the opportunity to find their moment to pursue their passions, explore the unknown, learn from setbacks, and celebrate their victories. Follow along throughout the day as we highlight some of the infinite possibilities experienced by our students, faculty, and alumnae and then consider your own. Let it inspire you to donate to the area of our school and community that resonates most with you

At Marlborough, students know that knowing is not enough. Because here, each student is made for more. And our alumnae โ€“ each and every one of YOU โ€“ are the proof. Show the current and future generations of Violets following in your footsteps that you believe in the power of their infinite possibilities. 

Giving Day runs from October 12 at 12pm PDT until October 13 at 12pm PDT. Give today, before time runs out!

The Infinite Possibilities of the Marlborough Community

Weโ€™ve all had that experience of meeting someone new and knowing, even before asking, that they too are a Violet. Thereโ€™s that intangible something that exists in each and every Marlborough alumna โ€“ an unbreakable bond that binds our community together. Do you ever flip through your senior yearbook and fondly remember your Mascot Presentation? Perhaps you and your classmates still reminisce about Miss Carnesโ€™ English class. Or maybe youโ€™ve mentored a young alumna and were pleasantly surprised by all that you have in common, even after attending Marlborough decades apart. Our current students are making those memories every single day โ€“ from traditions over a century old, such as designing a class banner, to our latest surprise: a staff and faculty flash mob to welcome in the new school year. Hear more about the infinite possibilities within the Marlborough community in the video above.

To put it simply, your gift to the Marlborough Fund supports the things that make Marlborough all that it is โ€“ a special, unique place educating the leaders of tomorrow. Show the current and future generations of Violets following in your footsteps that you believe in the power of their infinite possibilities. Give today!

Help us reach our Giving Day goal of 530 donors โ€“ one for each current Marlborough student โ€“ in just 24 hours. Giving Day runs from October 12 at 12pm PDT until October 13 at 12pm PDT. Give today, before time runs out!

Infinite Possibilities in Academics

Marlborough students arenโ€™t taught what to think, theyโ€™re taught how to think. They are the forward-thinkers; the collaborators; and the entrepreneurs, and your support of the Marlborough Fund ensures that the excellence of our academic programs continues to innovate and thrive. Last year, support from our alumnae helped us expand Marlboroughโ€™s Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation programs, increase access to a Marlborough education through contributions to financial aid, provide continuous professional development for our faculty and staff, and so much more. 

You know firsthand the infinite possibilities a Marlborough education provides, now hear more about these possibilities in the video above and then consider your own. Be inspired to support the current and future generations of curious and confident students. Give now!
