Our mission
The STGC '85 Knights Foundation is committed to advancing educational opportunities and supporting the personal, social and economic development of students at St. George's College. Today we do this through scholarships and mentorship.
Our history
We are the St. George's College Class of 1985. Most of our families stretched to keep us on North Street, and we have never forgotten what it cost them. We formed the '85 Knights Foundation so that a student with the ability never has to leave St.GC for lack of money. AMDG.

Christopher Russell and Sean Appleby sat in the same classrooms we did, and we lost them too soon. Every scholarship the Knights award carries their names, so every student who stays at St. George's because of this class stays in their memory.
