John was a highly talented junior in JPCatholic’s film program, coming from the midwest. When he returned home for Christmas break, he learned that his father was laid off, and his parents would no longer have the ability to support his return to college.

Valerie had a similar situation. A strong leader in campus ministries and a top student in our animation program, her degree was thrown into jeopardy when some unexpected health crises in her family reduced her parents’ ability to support tuition payments. Despite working 20 hours a week at multiple jobs, Valerie was unable to bridge the gap.

Due to the generous support of our benefactors, JPCatholic was able to assist these students with additional funding, enabling them to continue their education at JPCatholic.

Theresa came from a family of six, with both parents serving as full-time missionaries on a low income. She fell in love with JPCatholic’s mission to use the arts in service of a New Evangelization, but even with her scholarship award, the cost was just out of reach.

José was raised by a devout single mother who worked three jobs to ensure her four children could attend Catholic schools. With a household income of $34,000, Jose’s dreams of studying entrepreneurship at JPCatholic seemed impossible.

The Founders’ Fund gave JPCatholic the ability to extend generous aid packages to these students, and they have thrived in our campus environment.
