Scholarships are vital to Saint Ursula’s commitment to diversity. For many young women qualified to enroll at SUA, the tuition can be financially prohibitive. 30% of our students receive financial aid. Without this assistance, these students would be unable to attend Saint Ursula Academy. The need for assistance is great. At this time we are only able to provide 60% of the documented financial need of our students.
If you are interested in establishing a named scholarship, the minimum investment required is $25,000. This can be achieved through a one-time gift or several gifts over a period not to exceed 5 years. Additional contributions to a named scholarship are encouraged to increase the corpus of the scholarship and ultimately provide additional funds for students.
All endowed scholarship funds are placed in a commingled pool of funds, which is administered according to current investment policies as determined by the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees; only the investment and dividend income is used for financial awards. Scholarship funds provide meaningful tuition assistance to students with demonstrated financial need.
