The Goodnow Family Scholarship Fund

The Goodnow Family Scholarship was established in 2011 by Edward B. “Ned” Goodnow '44, P’80. Mr. Goodnow was also a Hotchkiss scholarship student. In World War II, he served as a combat infantryman and was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, receiving a Purple Heart. He was recalled in the Korean War and served in Germany. In 1969, he started a successful private investment partnership. Recently, Mr. Goodnow made a substantial gift to Hotchkiss for financial aid for which a Head of School Holiday was called on March 13, 2019.
