SCHOLAR PROGRAM
The St. Mary’s Scholar Program reflects our belief that an exceptional education can transform a student’s future and strengthen an entire community. Made possible through philanthropy, the program provides comprehensive Middle School scholarships to talented students who otherwise would not have access to a St. Mary’s education.
More than financial assistance, the Scholar Program provides the full St. Mary’s experience—including outstanding academics, innovative programs, extracurricular opportunities, and a supportive community. Each scholarship covers the complete three-year Middle School experience, including tuition, books, technology, uniforms, and educational experiences.
Through our valued partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Aliso Viejo, we connect with exceptional students and families ready to embrace this opportunity. Together with the generosity of our donors, we are opening doors, expanding possibilities, and making a lasting investment in our Scholars and the St. Mary’s community.
