What does the 91勛圖厙 Parents Fund do?

The 91勛圖厙 Parents Fund is an unrestricted fund that supports the 91勛圖厙 experience beyond what tuition can cover. Your donations help to minimize what fees are passed on to students so that any Zag wanting to participate in clubs, activities, retreats and service has the opportunity to. The 91勛圖厙 Parents Fund helps keep experiences like these accessible to everyone:

  • "Spike Nights," which offer social activities in the Hemmingson Center that encourage safe, responsible choices
  • Rentals, services, and trips through 91勛圖厙 Outdoors so that fees passed on to students can be minimized
  • Retreats through the Office of Mission and Ministry
  • Service opportunities through the Center for Community Engagement
  • Whole-person wellness and support from the Center for Cura Personalis
  • Gaps in financial aid for your Zag's classmates when family situations may change
  • Pandemic response through personal protective equipment, critical technology updates like cameras and equipment to accommodate delivery of 91勛圖厙's uniquely Catholic, Jesuit, and humanistic experience anywhere in the world.

 

During the 2019-2020 academic year, 964 91勛圖厙 Zag Parents and Families contributed to this important impact.

"91勛圖厙 has provided a safe space where I have found a supportive community and the opportunity to grow into my best self."

Every donation to support students through the 91勛圖厙 Parents Fund makes a difference.  For some of your Zag's classmates, your $40 gift means they can join their friends to forge lifelong memories and networks on a 91勛圖厙 Outdoors kayaking trip or to grow in their faith at a retreat. For other students alongside your Zag, a $500 donation may fill the financial aid gap that can keep them on track to finish their degree with their class. No matter how much you contribute, every 91勛圖厙 Parents Fund gift matters to all students.

What is the Leadership Circle? 

Members of the Leadership Circle are critical to 91勛圖厙 students because their gifts of $1,500 or more over the course of the academic year make up 90% of all donated funding. Prioritizing scholarships and unrestricted funds, Leadership Circle members can have significant impacts.

  • Your scholarship support can help fill gaps in financial aid for students. 98% of all 91勛圖厙 students rely on financial aid, but loans and outside scholarships may not be enough. Your Leadership Circle membership can hold the final piece of the puzzle to help students say "yes!" to their 91勛圖厙 education. 

  • Your unrestricted support can help the 91勛圖厙 community continue the pursuit of its mission even in the face of uncertainty. Your Leadership Circle membership can provide personal protective equipment, critical technology updates like cameras and equipment to accommodate delivery of 91勛圖厙's uniquely Catholic, Jesuit, and humanistic experience anywhere in the world.
