Catholic Education Foundation

The Catholic Education Foundation transforms the lives of at-risk students with opportunities for an exceptional K-12 Catholic education where academic rigor, faith and social support are prioritized. 

We believe that all families who seek high-quality, faith-based K-12 education should be able to access it, regardless of their financial situation. Our scholarship programs provide tuition-assistance scholarships to help Catholic schools throughout northeast Kansas welcome students of all backgrounds into their safe, caring, learning environments, where students can develop a love of Christ and thrive.

The demand for scholarships is higher than ever. Right now, 2,000 at-risk students at 22 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas need scholarship support. The average traditional scholarship in 2025-2026 is up 46% compared to five years ago. Our goal is to ensure that no student is turned away, but we can’t do it without your support.
