Please Support The DePaul Catholic Fund
The DePaul Catholic Fund is the primary way for our parents, grandparents, friends, and alumni to provide financial support to the school. Your generous gifts to the DePaul Catholic Fund will ensure that DePaul Catholic students have an extraordinary experience rooted in our Roman Catholic and Vincentian traditions, rich in academic excellence, faith formation, vibrant co-curricular activities, and community service. Here are our areas of need:
Financial Aid: Academic Merit Scholarships
At DePaul Catholic, we believe in recognizing and nurturing academic excellence grounded in faith and character. Our commitment to helping all capable students access a DePaul Catholic education is reflected in our Academic Merit Scholarship program.
These scholarships are awarded to incoming students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, intellectual curiosity, and personal integrity. Consideration is based on middle school performance, coursework, High School Placement Test (HSPT) scores, teacher recommendations, and student interviews.
Through these awards, we honor students who embody the values of perseverance, scholarship, and service—hallmarks of a DePaul Catholic education inspired by the example of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.
Financial Aid: Adopt-A-Student Program
DePaul Catholic’s long-standing “Adopt-A-Student” Program is the cornerstone of our financial aid efforts, ensuring that deserving students have access to a quality, faith-based education. Through this program, generous donors help make a DePaul Catholic education affordable for students who demonstrate both need and promise.
Adopting a student is a meaningful way to directly impact a young person’s future, providing them with the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in an environment rooted in faith, family, community, tradition, and excellence.
Capital Investments
The DePaul Catholic Administration believes that a clean, well-maintained school and grounds helps create strong school morale; increases the productivity of its faculty and staff; contributes to the academic and co-curricular success of its students, and makes a significant contribution towards creating a healthy learning atmosphere, producing a positive learning experience.
We are committed to consistently improving and upgrading our facilities and maintaining and improving our equipment and information technology to enhance and improve the overall work experience of our faculty and staff and to provide the best possible learning environment and experience to our students.
Athletics
DePaul Catholic Athletics complements its rigorous academic program and provides another arena in which students can succeed. The personal growth and achievements realized by our student-athletes and our teams provide students with a balance between academic pursuits, physical endeavors, and social interaction. Through our strong athletic programs, our student-athletes build character by learning commitment, self-discipline, self-motivation, self-sacrifice, teamwork, and accountability. Competitive Athletics helps our students improve their decision-making abilities and grow in courage, perseverance, integrity, and develop respect for themselves and others.
Faith and Campus Ministry
At DePaul Catholic, faith is at the heart of all we do. We believe that spiritual growth and participation in Campus Ministry and co-curricular activities are essential parts of a student’s education. Through prayer, service, and community involvement, students are encouraged to live the Gospel values taught by the Catholic Church.
Guided by the example of Saints Vincent de Paul, Louise de Marillac, and Elizabeth Ann Seton, our Campus Ministry Program inspires students to grow in faith, develop a spirit of compassion, and embrace their responsibility to serve others.
Unrestricted Giving
Unrestricted giving plays a vital role in supporting DePaul Catholic’s mission and values inspired by our patron saints, St. Vincent de Paul and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. These gifts make it possible for us to provide meaningful financial assistance to families, ensuring that every deserving student has access to a DePaul Catholic education.
Your generosity helps us fulfill our mission to form young men and women into compassionate, faith-filled servant leaders prepared to make a difference in the world. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and support.
