Recognition
Thomas Cochran Society
Nearly a century ago, Thomas Cochran appreciated the value of investing in Andover. In the course of becoming the school’s largest benefactor, Cochran created a magnificent and coherent campus, built the Addison Gallery of American Art, and endowed teaching foundations, lectureships, and concerts. Cochran, a banker, set the standard for philanthropy at Andover; he donated the bulk of his fortune to the school between 1916 and 1936, the year of his death.
In 2012, the Board of Trustees formed the Thomas Cochran Society to honor Cochran and all donors who make fully funded gifts of $250,000 or more during their lifetimes. This support enables the Academy to continue its mission of educating youth from every quarter through a program that challenges them to develop their potential and to depart as thoughtful, versatile, responsible participants in the global community.
Non Sibi Association
Non Sibi support helps to secure Phillips Academy’s foundation as a world-class education leader. Perhaps most critical, Non Sibi support supplements endowment income and tuition, helps preserve need-blind admission, and ensures our ability to attract and retain talented and diverse faculty.
Advancing Andover’s academic, athletic, and residential life programs is a valuable and worthy cause. Your investment in Andover students is one of the best investments you can make in the future.
Tuition covers approximately 65 percent of the actual cost of educating an Andover student. The remaining 35 percent comes from endowment income and annual gifts to the Andover Fund.
Nearly half of our students receive financial aid. Thirteen percent receive full scholarships. Even students whose families pay full tuition are subsidized by the Andover Fund and income from the endowment.

About Bulfinch Hall Phillips Academy’s third schoolhouse, Bulfinch Hall was built in 1818. Over time, it was transformed into a meeting hall, a gymnasium, and a dining hall known as The Beanery. Since 1937, Bulfinch has been home to the English department and a familiar destination for generations of Andover students: every student takes at least one class in Bulfinch Hall. The historic building has also provided inspiration for dozens of gifted and demanding instructors teaching grammar and the well-formed sentence, poems and essays, literature and criticism, and so much more.
