Impact of Donors

For at-risk students, a high-quality education offers a pathway to opportunities and resources to break the cycle of poverty and rewrite the future for themselves and their families. We’re thrilled to share that this spring CEF scholarship recipients achieved a 100% graduation rate!

The class of 2023 includes 47 CEF scholarship recipients. Of those students, 63% plan to continue their education at a 4-year college or university, 27% plan to attend community college and nearly 9% are entering the workforce with confidence and purpose.

Spring has finally arrived and CEF schools are ready to grow. This year, CEF scholarships helped welcome more than 300 new students to our Catholic schools, awarding 1,761 scholarships totaling $4.1million. As Catholic schools begin enrolling students for the 2023-24 school year, CEF scholarships will continue to provide the support needed to welcome new at-risk students to the family-oriented, faith-filled learning environments that our Catholic schools provide.
