Catholic Education Foundation Scholarships

Cathedral of St. Raymond School Endowment

The Cathedral of St. Raymond School is extremely fortunate to be able to offer additional assistance through our school endowment. In 2010, an anonymous donor contributed $1 million dollars strictly for the use of scholarships for the children of St. Raymond. This donation was placed in an endowment fund and the interest each year provides scholarships for our school families. Any family enrolled at the Cathedral of St. Raymond School is eligible to apply for tuition assistance. These scholarships range from $500-$1,000 per family. Recipients of an Endowment Award are notified in June.
