Presidential Fund for Equity

President Kevin Weinman and his wife Beth created this fund with a personal pledge in December 2021 to enable talented students with financial need to access the same range of experiences as their classmates. As Weinman noted, his family’s gift was “intended to be one small step toward helping all of our students to reach their full potential and get the most out of their Marist experience.” On Sept. 23, 2022, Board of Trustees Chairman Ross Mauri '80 announced that each member of the Board of Trustees also made a pledge to the fund in honor of Weinman’s inauguration. The College’s goal is to continue to grow the fund, the range of activities it supports, and its impact on students with donor support.

Awards are intended for students enrolled in an undergraduate, degree-seeking program who demonstrate significant financial need and where financial constraints are a barrier to their participation in internships and attachment programs.
