Adopt-A-Cadet Program
The Adopt-A-Cadet Program is an annual fundraising appeal, which provides tuition assistance to cadets who would otherwise not be able to attend St. Catherine’s. We strive to provide the gift of a St. Catherine’s education to any student interested in attending our school, despite his family’s financial circumstances. Last year, St. Catherine’s awarded over $52,000 in financial aid to 18 cadets. While we are grateful for the aid we have been able to provide in the past, we also recognize the need to build our scholarship funds as more and more families request our help due to do the rising cost of education. Through the Adopt-A-Cadet Program, you can partner with us to provide the tuition assistance necessary to make a St. Catherine’s education possible for more young men.
To give to Adopt-A-Cadet, return this invitation with your gift.
