The Catholic Education Foundation believes that all families who seek high-quality, faith-based K-12 education should be able to access it, regardless of their financial situation. We’ve seen the difference it makes - especially for low-income children in rural and inner city communities. And thanks to the generosity of our community, CEF scholarships are supporting students at 22 schools across the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas this year alone, all serving communities experiencing significant financial need.

The outcomes are clear: CEF scholarships are changing lives.

My faith and education are very important to me, and you give me the opportunity to learn at a faith based school. You don't know how incredibly thankful I am to be at this school. In return, I will remember you in my prayers.

Thank you Donors!

"COVID-19 prevented us, but you liberated us."

"Dear CEF Donor, 

I am very grateful for your kind support! Going to school is a joy for many, many people. School is an opportunity to spend time with my friends and my amazing teacher! And more importantly, learn about Jesus Christ and all my every-day classes. All of this is possible with your HEROIC help! Covid-19 prevented us, but you liberated us. So now with all appreciation, thank you! May God bless your dear heart!

God bless,

"Not many people like you are in the world"

Dear CEF Donor,

Grateful is the word that fits this letter. Ever since I've been at Holy Name I enjoyed it, which is one of the reasons I am still here, with some other key points. For example: the classes are small which means teachers can help you if needed! Also, it is a Catholic school. I can practice my faith and pray when I want. None of this would be possible if it wasn't for you! I wouldn't get the chance to attend this school, and I wouldn't have met my friends or teachers. I would also like to thank you because not many people like you are in the world. God bless you!

Dear CEF,

Thank you so much for providing scholarships to kids who want to attend Catholic school. I suspect I wouldn't know a few of my awesome friends if it weren't for you. The way CEF changes people's lives for the better is really incredible.
