Why do we ask for $800 plus field studies?
As the year begins, we’re asking families to support both our Annual Giving Campaign and field studies. We know this is a big ask, and we want to be transparent about why it matters. Public funding covers core academics; Family giving covers nearly everything that makes NCSA the unique and extraordinary experience students reflect on years after their time here.
Field studies are an essential part of the NCSA experience, giving students meaningful opportunities to learn, explore, and grow beyond the classroom. While the school subsidizes a significant portion of these programs, family contributions help make these enriching experiences possible for every student.
The Annual Giving Campaign bridges the gap between the state and federal funding NCSA receives and the actual cost of providing our exceptional arts-integrated education. Our suggested contribution of $800 per student represents the funding gap per student.
Together, these two efforts sustain the full experience of an NCSA education.
