The Denise Shaw HoopTee Scholarship

Together, The Dee-Lite Foundation, HoopTee Charities, and Country Day awarded four academic scholarships—for two young men and two young women—that will cover all costs associated with four years of an Upper School educational experience, including tuition, books, extracurricular fees, and more. The scholarships are valued at $500,000 and will benefit four qualifying students from underrepresented backgrounds who would otherwise not be able to attend Country Day.
