Wheeler School given $2M Malone endowment

PROVIDENCE – The Wheeler School received a $2 million endowment grant from the prestigious Malone Family Foundation, based in Englewood, Colo.
The award – one of only a handful made by the foundation each year – will provide scholarships for “Malone Scholars” at Wheeler who demonstrate extraordinary academic promise as well as significant financial need.
“This is one of the most significant financial aid awards available to independent schools in this country,” said Head of School Dan Miller. “It is a tremendous honor for the school and a powerful endorsement of our program, culture and community. Most important, it will provide opportunity to talented and motivated students who will, in turn, strengthen this school immeasurably.” &#8226
