Gifts of any size to the Xavier Scholarship program may be made to the Scholarship Endowment Fund.  All Gifts provide assistance to parish students and families seeking a quality Catholic education.

Gifts to the Scholarship Endowment 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 provide financial aid for families from our twelve participating parishes who demonstrate financial need each year.

Building the scholarship endowment fund is a critical need for the Xavier Foundation.  We are seeking to raise more than $1 million in endowed, needs-based scholarships to assist our deserving students and make Catholic education affordable. It is important to recognize the large number of Xavier students grades 9 through 12 who rely on the endowed scholarship gifts from generous donors.  Without them, some students simply could not attend Xavier.

Join the Scholarship Endowment Circle

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 many generations of Xavier students, but they can also be a lasting gift by perpetuating 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. Click here for a list of current Scholarship Endowment Fund donors.

Investing in the Future is Easier Than You Think

Regardless of the size of your gift, you can help a Xavier student.  Gifts can be made in a number of ways, including gifts of cash or check, appreciated securities or gifts through charitable estate plans.
