The Holy Trinity Catholic Schools Educational Foundation has announced the creation of a new endowed scholarship aimed at supporting future educators. The Holy Trinity Catholic Schools Educational Field Scholarship will be awarded annually to a graduating Holy Trinity senior who plans to pursue a degree in education.
The $100,000 endowed scholarship was gifted by an anonymous benefactor. Recipients will be selected based on financial need, academic ability, and promise for success in the education field. Award amounts will vary depending on the interest earned and the number of recipients chosen each year. The Foundation anticipates that this year’s award will be approximately $4,500.
Thomas Gendron, Director of Development for the Holy Trinity Catholic Schools Educational Foundation, said the new scholarship fills an important need.
Foundation leaders say the new scholarship aligns perfectly with their mission. Providing financial support to Holy Trinity students remains the cornerstone of the Foundation’s work and a major focus of its fundraising efforts.
