Supporting world class public education at the
Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science & Engineering

Seeding Columbia Secondary School's Endowment

CSE-MSE's curriculum features a study abroad program, extensive use of technology, and significant outreach into the Upper Manhattan community.  These programs, in addition to CSS-MSE's overall commitment to providing a challenging, cutting-edge educational experience, naturally extend the school beyond its annual budget from New York City.  As a long-term solution to this challenge, CSS-MSE is establishing an endowment fund that will permanently support the enrichment programs that distinguish the school's curriculum.

  • CSS-MSE's endowment goal for 2013, the year of the first graduating class, is $10,000,000.
  • The Foundation for Excellence in Education, CSS-MSE's 501(c)3 organization, will house the endowment fund and ensure that all donations are tax-deductible and fully accountable and compliant with all charitable giving regulations.

Donors interested in contributing to CSS-MSE's sustainability by seeding the endowment fund are encouraged to contact CSS-MSE's principal, Dr. Jose Maldonado.
