Every time a new student joins Nouvel Catholic Schools, our family grows.
Saint Gerard Society is a grassroots, nonprofit organization providing tuition assistance to deserving children who attend Nouvel Catholic Central Schools. Its mission is to ensure that Catholic education is financially within reach for all families. As a 501(c) (3) charity, all donations are fully tax deductible.
Why is my donation important?
1. In the words of Pope Francis: Educating is an act of love; it is like giving life.
2. Catholic school graduates are more civically engaged, more tolerant of diverse views and more committed to service as adults than their public school peers.
3. The poorer and more at-risk a student is, the greater the achievement gains in Catholic schools.
4. Students with multiple disadvantages benefit most from Catholic schools.
5. The achievement gap between students of different racial and/or socioeconomic backgrounds is significantly smaller in Catholic schools.
6. Latino and African American students in Catholic schools are more likely to graduate from high school and college.
How is My Donation Used?
> One hundred percent of every donation goes directly to tuition assistance.
> The Saint Gerard Society maintains all donated funds in an investment account.
> Saint Gerard Society disburses scholarships directly to Nouvel Catholic central Schools on behalf of scholarship recipients.
Who Receives Donations?
When finances are a barrier to new Nouvel Catholic Central Schools students, the school admissions and finance directors collaboratively secure scholarship funding. Scholarship amounts range from $500 up to half of the tuition cost, based on third-party verification of need.
What is required of scholarship recipients?
Students must adhere to the school Code of Conduct, which outlines minimum academic performance and exemplary behavior. Families and students are asked to fully participate in their Catholic education experience and to help others as their own financial situations allow.
Please help transform a child’s future by providing an academically rigorous, Christ-centered education.
Dr. Michael Wolohan, Scholarship Angel
“There’s nothing greater than forming a child in Christ and helping a child to learn to be like Jesus both as a child and then as an adult. That’s an incredible, wonderful gift.”
