Shaker Student Travel Savings Fund
Excellence is Inclusive: Shaker Travels the World Together

Global education has long been part of the Shaker experience. At the high school, a great number of opportunities exist for students–whether touring in Europe with fellow students from the band, choir or orchestra, engaging in a language immersion program to Chile or Germany, or participating in a service project in Southeast Asia. Most of these life-changing trips are nearly $4,000 per student. While all student travel experiences have fundraising opportunities to support the trips, we know these costs are great. The Shaker Schools Foundation is proud to partner with Huntington Bank to help our families plan for the experience of a lifetime by opening a Shaker Student Travel Savings Fund.
The time to start saving is NOW! Our partnership with Huntington will allow you to start a student travel savings fund now–with ZERO cost to you to set up. It is completely free. Your savings today will give your student the experience of a lifetime in high school.
