7th Grade Faculty Award
 
 
This year we are awarding two seventh graders that consistently strive to do well, seek to improve and maintain positive, thoughtful attitudes. They are excellent examples of the best Clairbourn can produce.
 
 
Lola Wallden Memorial Scholarship
 
 
Educating children was Mrs. Wallden’s personal and professional passion. She cared deeply about the progress of every student she encountered. In memory of Mrs. Wallden’s 36 years of service to the students at Clairbourn, the trustees established the Lola Wallden Memorial Scholarship Fund. The award from this fund is designed to recognize the fourth or fifth grade student who has demonstrated hard work and persistence, qualities that Mrs. Wallden found to be most important in developing quality individuals.
 
Ann Wakefield Pearson Humanitarian Scholarship
 
Ann Pearson loved her work. She saw the good in her students, and loved the spirit that characterizes today’s middle schoolers. Her door was always open to students, parents, and colleagues alike. We honor her memory by recognizing the qualities she cherished in today’s recipient. This award is open to any currently enrolled Clairbourn sixth grader who shows enthusiasm in three areas: attitude, behavior, and achievement.
Scott Studenmund Scholarship for Leadership, Commitment, and Service
 
 
This award stands as a lasting tribute to Scott's unsurpassed example of these qualities and more. Setting this high standard before our students will encourage
the best and brightest to strive for even higher success. To further this goal, Dr. and Mrs. Woody Studenmund established this fund in 2014. 
 
Niijar Sportsmanship Scholarship
 
 
In appreciation for what Clairbourn meant to them and in recognition of the difference our sports program made in the lives of their three sons, a gift was made to establish this fund. The Nijjar Sportsmanship Scholarship is designed to recognize the fifth through seventh grade student who has demonstrated dedication, persistence, team spirit, and outstanding good sportsmanship on Clairbourn School sports teams. 
John Eric Beckstrom Scholarship
 
 
As President of the Clairbourn Board of Trustees, he worked to ensure young people would have the advantages of an excellent, independent school education. Today we recognize a student who has demonstrated these qualities of working hard in the combined areas of academics, citizenship, and athletics.
Robert W. Nafie Endowment Gift
 
 
The purpose of the fund is to ensure the continuation of educational excellence at Clairbourn School. Each year at this time, a gift is made from this fund to benefit the school in an area of special interest. It is hoped that this endowment fund will continue to grow and will become a lasting legacy of encouragement and support for Clairbourn’s educational excellence.
 
Past gifts from the Robert W. Nafie Endowment Fund include musical instruments for the orchestra program, a miniature Manor House play house for the Seiter Family Early Childhood Center, a series of talks on global ethics and their importance to student leadership development, leadership opportunities for the Clairbourn Student Council, a 3D printer now in use in the Innovation Lab, along with many other gifts.
 
This year’s endowment gift of $4,000 will go towards supplies for the iLab to continue the creativity and problem solving happening in the Liu-Peng Innovation Lab. Please join me in thanking those who have contributed to the Nafie Endowment!
8th Grade Faculty Award
 
 
This year we have two awards. These students are consistently friendly to all, both in and out of the classroom. They maintain positive, easy-going attitudes while always striving to do well, and are willing to help others in need. 
 
 
President's Awards for Academic Excellence
 
 
 
This year, the award is merited by the following students: Damien C., Zoe H., Megan L., Louie L., Fredric S., Theo W., Arthur Z.
Alex J. Robertson Memorial Award


 
Mr. Robertson loved young people and wanted to give them the chance to succeed in both academics and athletics. This award presented in Mr. Robertson’s honor is often referred to as the Scholar-Athlete Award. This year's recipient reflects excellence in both athletics and academics.
Outstanding Graduate
 
The Outstanding Graduate is nominated by the faculty after careful consideration of all students. Candidates are considered on the basis of their record at previous schools (if any), their record at Clairbourn, and the significance of their contribution to the Clairbourn community.
