EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT
Holy Cross High School is excited to announce The Inaugural Hall of Honor Scholarship Fund. All future funds raised through the Hall of Honor will support a Crusader education, making it more affordable for new students to receive their education at Holy Cross High School.
Bridging the Gap between Costs and Affordability
Interest in Holy Cross High School is strong. Our inquiry pool for the Class of 2025 has already surpassed that of the Class of 2024. However, while we control tuition increases, and allocate $1.4 million in financial aid annually, nearly 50% of the students we offered admission to over the past three years were forced to decline the offer of admission because of insufficient aid and scholarship funds. In addition to the average financial aid award, we estimate that $2,500 in annual tuition assistance is the critical number needed by many families to tip the balance in favor of sending their child to our school.
“Giving Joshua the opportunity to attend Holy Cross renewed my belief in HOPE: there is light in the darkness, good people do exist, hard work does pay off, and being true to yourself brings great reward. With the personal support and encouragement from the teachers and staff at Holy Cross, my son has found a home...Holy Cross has strengthened my family’s direction and core values by transforming Joshua into an amazing young man”
- Nichole Holland (mother of Joshua ’23)
We know what the challenge is. Here is the solution: The Crusader Hall of Honor Scholarship Fund.
In December 2020, we raised $25,000 to create the Crusader Hall of Honor Scholarship Fund through generous donations from past Hall of Honor honorees. This $25,000, along with a generous $25,000 match from Jeff ’87 and Kim Fryer, created the inaugural fund which is being used to award scholarships to incoming members of the Class of 2025.
Each Crusader Hall of Honor scholarship is guaranteed $2,500 per year, per student, for a total commitment of $10,000 over the student’s four years at Holy Cross High School.
After providing the inaugural scholarships for 21-22, the remaining funds will be deposited into our endowment. All future funds raised through the Hall of Honor will support a Crusader education, making it more affordable for new students to receive their education at Holy Cross High School.
