The Saint Edward's Society
Opening Doors for Promising Students
Every year, talented and motivated students dream of a Saint Edward’s education, but limited financial aid means some families simply cannot afford the opportunity.
Through the Saint Edward’s Society, you can help ensure that exceptional students have the chance to learn, grow and thrive. By making a minimum annual commitment of $20,000, you sponsor a student throughout their Saint Edward’s journey.
The Blaichers and their scholar
Once a family qualifies for need-based financial aid, the School thoughtfully matches donors and students, creating a lasting investment in a young person’s future. Since its inception, the Saint Edward’s Society has provided more than $3.5 million in support and opened doors for 96 students.
Society Scholars embrace all that Saint Edward’s has to offer — excelling in the classroom, pursuing their passions in the arts and athletics, and contributing to the life of the School through clubs, leadership and service.
We have funded some wonderful young people over the last 20 plus years, and it has been rewarding for us to see them flourish at Saint Edward’s.
Many of our sponsored students arrived shy and apprehensive, probably not sure of what they had gotten themselves into, but they blossomed as they adjusted to the new challenges and opportunities.
The school has provided the highest academic, social and athletic opportunities for these young people. When our students have been accepted by elite colleges, that has been our ultimate satisfaction.
There is something special to have one’s philanthropy up front and personal.Gay and Fritz Blaicher
