SUPPORTING CATHOLIC EDUCATION
Our scholarship funds provide tuition assistance to Catholic students attending Catholic high schools, colleges, and universities. By supporting their education, we help nurture the next generation of faith-driven leaders and ensure the vitality of Catholic education for years to come.
How can you make Catholic education part of your mission?
“Having a Catholic education means so much to my family; it is the foundation of everything my kids will become. It is important to us that they are surrounded by teachers, staff, and families grounded in our Catholic faith,” said Antonia Behnke, a parishioner of St. Timothy Catholic Church and mother of two CSA recipients. “As a mom of four, there is no way we could manage such a huge financial burden. Without your donations, my kids couldn’t go to Catholic school. So, thank you, times a million.”

Your support made his Catholic education possible!
"As a mother of four children, I thought that a Catholic high school experience was beyond our means. When our elementary school principal told us about an amazing opportunity through the Catholic Community Foundation, we applied. We were thrilled to be notified that a scholarship was awarded. Thanks to this amazing opportunity, my son will be able to receive a faith-informed, high-quality education during some of the most important formative years of his life.”
—Sarah A., mom of Christian, a CCF Scholarship Program recipient
