Since 1998, Catholic Education Arizona has provided critical tuition scholarships to thousands of underserved students to change lives, serve society, and transform culture. For Colleen Will, the true reward of her work at Catholic Education Arizona lies in the lives she helps transform.

“The true value of Catholic education is to create extraordinary human beings,” Colleen said. “Catholic education can change the world for the better!” As Corporate Associate and Parish and Events Manager, she plays a pivotal role in the organization, from fostering partnerships with parishes and corporations to organizing impactful events.

Turning dreams into reality, Colleen and Catholic Education Arizona help thousands of families across the Diocese of Phoenix to afford Catholic education.

Through Arizona Private Education and Corporate Tax Credits, planned gifts, and donations, Catholic Education Arizona opens doors for students, transforming lives and communities. The Diocese of Phoenix Catholic Schools sees outstanding outcomes:

  • 99% graduation rate
  • 96% matriculation to higher education, trade school, or enter military service
  • 1000s of hours of community service conducted annually

Faith Shapes Character

Colleen’s passion for Catholic education stems from her own experience. “I am the product of Catholic education, as are my children, parents, and grandparents,” Colleen said. “I believe that a Catholic education creates a lasting impact on lives. Faith shapes character.”

“Some of the most impactful stories I hear are of families who return to their Catholic faith after being part of a Catholic school community,” Colleen said. “The schools operate as beautiful communities where the seeds they plant bring forth amazing fruit.”
