Access, Opportunity & Affordability
“Education is important to me and my family. I would not have been able to gain such a great foundation, as I have at Peddie, without the support of the Robert D. ’43 & Elizabeth B. Zenker P’68 Scholarship Fund and donors like you,” said Eliza Lamar’25.
“Over the past few years, Peddie has offered me a variety of opportunities that define who I am today.” — Eliza Lamar ’24
“The environment at Peddie is really something special. It has been extremely enjoyable while also opening a lot of doors to my future. The funding I receive to attend Peddie has changed my life in an amazing way. I can’t thank you enough for it.”
Computer Science (CS) is Eliza’s favorite course and a possible college path. “My teacher is always enthusiastic and offers plenty of support. Thanks to all the CS-related clubs at Peddie, I have been able to gain exposure to different branches of CS, including cyber security and robotics.”
In addition to being a leader of the Women in Tech club, Eliza is a member of the PeddieHacks finance and marketing group. In this role, she engages potential sponsors and participants for PeddieHacks, a yearly competition where novice and experienced student programmers work together to design solutions for real-world challenges. “Having the opportunities and resources I have at Peddie is nothing like I would have had without your support. I have gained so much, and I am extremely grateful to those who made it happen,” she said.
“My time at Peddie was a life-changing experience. I know that my parents would take great pleasure in knowing that they are able to assist in providing the same opportunity for students of character, focus and curiosity like Eliza.” — David Zenker ’68
Did you know? Peddie awards more than $10 million in financial assistance each year through the support of over 50 named endowed funds and the general endowment. Yet, we still receive many more applications from exceptional students than we can afford to support.
