SCHOLARSHIPS

The Columbus Education Foundation, in partnership with Columbus High School, helps donors create named scholarships for students to attend Columbus. These funds can be restricted and the donor can establish the criteria for the scholarship. To establish a $500 annual scholarship through CEF, a minimum amount of $10,000 is needed. This gift will ensure that the scholarship will continue in perpetuity. A $20,000 donation would award a $1,000 scholarship each year. Donors may give to an existing scholarship or contact the Development Office to establish a new one.
 

SAINT MARY SCHOOL EDUCATION FUND

CEF was established in 1976 in support of Columbus High School. Almost 40 years later, over 5.1 million dollars has been distributed from the CEF General Fund to Columbus High School. The fund is currently valued at 3.5 million dollars. CEF has been the recipient of wills, bequests, life Insurance, and retirement assets as well as gifts of cash. Planned giving to our Catholic schools creates a legacy that will benefit generations of students and help ensure that the educational and spiritual objectives of Columbus Catholic Schools will continue into the future.
 

SAINT MARY SCHOOL ENDOWMENT

This fund was established in 2008 for the benefit of Columbus Catholic Schools. Interest earned on this fund is used for operating expenses of the entire Columbus Catholic Schools system. Funds are used to enhance the educational opportunities of our students.
 

ANNUAL APPEAL

The Columbus Catholic Schools Annual Appeal is the best and most immediate way to ensure the future health and vitality of our schools.  Our school system's financial health and stability depends on the Annual Appeal which seeks contributions to financially support our schools on an annual basis. Gifts made to the Columbus Catholic Schools are used to help maintain the demands of the annual budget and enhance curriculum, materials, and programs for our students.

Gifts to Columbus Catholic Schools may be designated to any of the following areas: greatest need; academics & faith formation; athletics; facilities & maintenance; fine arts; technology; and tuition assistance.

TEACHER WISH LIST

If you'd rather donate items to a teacher's classroom - and give them what they REALLY want for Christmas! - watch for our annual "Teacher Wish List" that comes out during the holidays.  To upgrade their classrooms, teachers look for games, to art supplies, to furniture!  If you'd rather not wait, contact the Development Office, or your favorite teacher, directly.
