Providing financial aid to families is the number one priority for Providence Catholic. Last year 210 families applied for need-based financial aid. Twenty-five percent of our students would not be able to attend Providence without the generosity of our benefactors.

Every gift you make allows young men and women to join us in the blessing that is Providence, and in so doing, become something greater together. Please consider a gift in support of our students.

Following are examples of how your gift to the annual fund makes a difference:

  • $100 provides Advanced Placement class fees for a family receiving financial aid
  • $250 provides Kairos retreat fees for a Senior receiving financial aid
  • $500 provides aid in the form of the summer work program for students with financial need
  • $1000 provides need-based financial aid for a month for a student

Several families have used their DAF to provide grants to Providence Catholic. A DAF is established through a bank, investment firm or community foundation.
