August is Make-a-Will Month, a time to reflect on the legacy we wish to leave. Catholic Education Arizona provides scholarships to change lives, serve society, and transform culture. This month, we invite our community to consider how a thoughtfully prepared will can be a powerful tool for stewardship and giving.

Why Make a Will?

Creating a will or a bequest allows your final wishes to be honored and protect your loved ones. Beyond that, a will can support the causes closest to your heart, including accessible and affordable quality, Catholic Education for families.

Supporting Underserved Students through Your Will

By including Catholic Education Arizona in your estate plan, you can make a lasting impact on the lives of students in the Diocese of Phoenix. Your gift will provide tuition scholarships for those with demonstrated need, ensuring all families can choose the best education for their children, regardless of their income. This allows you to create your legacy and support quality education for future generations.
