Endowed Scholarship Circle
Xavier is unique in its Catholic identity and its commitment to help students grow spiritually and academically. Students, their families, the Church, and our community all benefit from a Xavier education; a high quality Catholic learning environment that extends far beyond the classroom.
Gifts to the Scholarship Endowment Fund of $10,000 or more may be designated in your honor, the honor of a family member or a special friend of Xavier. Named Endowed Scholarships not only benefit generations of Xavier students, they also serve as a lasting gift that perpetuates your name or the name of a family member, friend, or organization. The donor’s name becomes a part of the fabric of the school. In return, Xavier students provide a living legacy to the donors of the named endowed scholarships.
Building the Scholarship Endowment Fund is a Critical Need for the Xavier Foundation
Building the Scholarship Endowment Fund is a critical need for the Xavier Foundation. Approximately $200,000 in scholarship support is needed annually to provide needs-based scholarship for Xavier students. Without scholarship funds, many of these students simply could not afford to attend Xavier. The amount needed each year increases as our enrollment continues to grow.
Our goal is to raise $1 million for the Endowed Scholarship Fund. Gifts to this fund are invested in a permanent trust held by the Foundation to provide long-term strength and growth to the scholarship program. The earnings generated by the principal of these gifts will provide financial aid for deserving students each year.
Many opportunities exist for creating an endowed scholarship and making a significant difference in the lives of students - today and far into the future.
