Our daughter, Lily, is a first-time recipient of a scholarship through Catholic Education Arizona. We were so grateful and appreciative when we received that letter in the mail, in July! We planned on having her attend Notre Dame Preparatory High School regardless of the cost because we are a God-fearing family and we want her to have friends, their families, teachers and coaches that share the same beliefs and morales as us. Private, parochial education is not just the expense of tuition. Many other costs accompany this route of education. Lily made the school volleyball team, which came with its own expenses. This generous scholarship helped us breathe easier and allocate our savings into other areas, such as uniforms and their altering fees, a required personal laptop, school supplies and her school sports fees.
Lily’s Altar Project.
Lily: “I created a beautiful St. Valentine altar project that got chosen to be on display in our student center building. My English teacher had me create a powerpoint using my English skills, but the project was a prayer. I know my family supports and enjoys me growing more in my faith journey and education. I have the opportunity to learn more about the Catholic Faith, Scripture, the Bible, along with science, reading, writing and math.”
