Scholarships

Join us as a supporter of this transformational vision that safeguards Holy Cross High School’s future. GIVE TODAY in honor of a member of the Hall of Honor Class of 2020 and to make a difference in a future Crusader’s education.

The Sadie & Michael Devino, Sr. scholarship was established in December of 2007 with the intent that the money will assist Holy Cross in fulfilling its mission of Catholic education. The scholarship is awarded to an incoming freshman with financial need and at the discretion of the financial aid committee.  (Preference may be given to Parochial School students but is not required).

Geraldine M. Hawks has been a long-time member of the Holy Cross Community.  She was born into a large and close-knit Catholic family in Waterbury.  Her brother, Br. David J Turmel C.S.C, is a religious brother in the Holy Cross order, has taught at numerous Holy Cross schools, and was on the Board of Directors at Holy Cross Waterbury.  Both of her sons, Donald L Hawks III (’93) and Kurt D Hawks (’94) are graduates of Holy Cross Waterbury, as are a number of her nieces and nephews.  Your gift to the Geraldine M. Hawks memorial scholarship will make a difference in a current or future Crusader's education. 

The Timothy J. McDonald Scholarship was established at the time of his passing. For decades as President and Principal of Holy Cross, Timothy J. McDonald was devoted to the academic, emotional, and spiritual growth and success of all students in his care. For him, Holy Cross was a home for families and students to pursue the pillars of excellence within an unwavering culture of respect, kindness, honor, pride, and spirituality. Mr. McDonald believed that the opportunities and genuine goodness of Holy Cross should be attainable for young men and women of all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds in the Greater Waterbury region. With his personal code and belief system in mind, this scholarship will make his vision a reality for students of financial need for years to come.
