Catholic education is possible for thousands of Quincy families because of generous donors who believe in access, opportunity, and faith-filled learning.
Through endowed and annual scholarships, the Quincy Catholic Elementary Schools Foundation helps ensure that tuition does not stand in the way of families who desire a Catholic education for their children.
As these scholarships grow, so does the Foundation’s ability to impact lives — supporting students today while strengthening Catholic education for generations to come.
Endowed Scholarships
An endowed scholarship provides a permanent source of financial support for QCES students.
Gifts made to establish or grow an endowed scholarship are invested. Once fully established, only the interest earned is awarded each year, while the principal remains intact, allowing the scholarship to support students year after year.
Donors are encouraged to continue contributing to their endowed fund over time, increasing its impact and long-term sustainability. Anyone may donate to an existing endowed scholarship.
