Did You Know?
Since the program's inception in 1999, more than 500 Holy Cross Fund Scholarships have been awarded to our talented students.
Students Speak
"You have no idea what this extra bit of financial assistance means to me. This was basically the determining factor for my attending Holy Cross. Without this help, I would probably be attending community college in Dallas, which is nothing compared to the experience and academic quality of a Holy Cross education."
Holy Cross Fund Scholars
The Holy Cross Fund Scholars Program is a unique opportunity to create a one-year, named scholarship that will be awarded to a promising and talented student with financial need.
Words from our donors
Tom ’87 and Erin Reilly ’86 FlynnP.J. Reilly ’55 Scholarship
"It's a personal and immediate way to do something tangible for a student. Rather than buy a material thing, we wanted to help someone get an education - to give someone a chance."
Words from our students
Caroline '12 | English
"My professors and classes have been engaging and challenging, and the academic opportunities that abound at Holy Cross never fail to impress me. I am so grateful for the generous scholarship that allowed me to attend, and I hope to return the favor to a Holy Cross student in the future. "
Jonathan '11 | Biology
"I am having a wonderful experience, both socially and academically. I am a biology major working toward fulfilling the requirements for the premed program. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy being part of several student organizations. I serve as a Liturgical coordinator, altar server, and communion minister for campus ministry. I volunteer at a Free Health Clinic where I am able to help the community and make great friends at the same time."
