With a longtime Board member, Crispin Etherington, the two established a separate non-profit to raise money specifically for financial scholarships for Club members who wanted to pursue and education after high school.  The Annapolis Trust has also provided scholarships for two students to attend Gordonstoun International Summer School since 2002.
