The Robert L. Cosby Scholarship Fund honors the memory of this beloved teacher, coach, mentor and friend to generations of Brunswick students and families.
Mr. Cosby came to Brunswick in 1970 and, over the years until his sudden death in February 2004, taught history, math, and physical education, and coached most every sport in both the Upper and Middle Schools. He is probably best remembered for his cheerful "Greetings" as he welcomed the boys to School each morning. Mr. Cosby was a source of constant encouragement and boundless enthusiasm for students and faculty alike.
The income from the Fund established in Mr. Cosby's memory provides scholarship assistance to students who would otherwise not be able to afford a Brunswick education. The Fund stands at $615,186 as of December 31, 2006.
The Robert L. Cosby Society was founded to honor those members of the community who have donated a cumulative total of $5,000 or more to the Cosby Fund. Each year a breakfast is held for Cosby Society members with a topic and speakers relating to financial aid.

The picture below of Bob Cosby, Jr. and Jarrett Shine '92 was taken at the first breakfast to recognize members of the Cosby Society. Mr. Cosby's son, Bob, was on a panel of speakers including a current student and a more recent alumni. Each spoke of their experiences at Brunswick and the difference that the School made in their lives.
