In 1999, the largest bequest to dates, a sum in excess of $1,400,000, was received from the estate of Harriet Harms Phillips, a member of the class of 1932.

The spirit of Samuel Ready School continues to be a motivating force in increasing the endowment of Samuel Ready Scholarships, Inc. It is a natural hope for the future that Samuel Ready Scholarship recipients will join their predecessors in supporting the endowment.
