ENDOWMENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Each school year, several students receive scholarships and grants thanks to the Academy’s many donors who have funded endowed and annual scholarships. The primary difference between these two awards is how they are funded:

Endowed Scholarships

The Endowed Scholarship Fund is the oldest endowed fund at Duchesne. A gift designated for this endowment fund (minimum of $10,000.00, also known as the corpus) is left intact in perpetuity, with the earned interest used to provide scholarships as designated by the donors. The histories of endowed scholarships tell beautiful stories about generosity, love and a caring concern for the future of Sacred Heart students.

Individuals are invited to contribute to these endowed scholarships with gifts added to the corpus. Your gift will join in the loving tribute to those for whom the scholarship has been established.
