Eddie Franz Endowed Funds

In honor of the life and legacy of Eddie Franz, MBS announces two endowed funds:
The Eddie Franz Endowed Scholarship Fund and The Eddie Franz Endowed Chair for Wellness.

The Eddie Franz
Endowed Scholarship Fund

This fund was created in 2022 to honor the extraordinary legacy of Eddie Franz, a beloved history teacher, counselor, coach, mentor and friend who was an integral part of the Morristown Beard School community for 39 years and the LifeCamp community for more than 30 years as Director, passionately educating and empowering numerous young lives. 

The fund supports students who require financial assistance to attend MBS and exhibit the qualities of kindness, character, and leadership. These are the very same qualities that Eddie embodied and are reflected in LifeCamp’s mission: to empower youth to succeed and excel in life by developing life skills, character, and leadership. LifeCamp is a not-for-profit organization that provides an enriching summer day camp experience for Newark area youths between the ages of 6 and 13 and where many MBS students either attended or worked as counselors.
