St Thomas Aquinas Scholarship Fund

The Saint Thomas Aquinas Scholarship Endowment was created in 2024 with a simple and important purpose: to help current SEES families keep their children in a Catholic school they love, especially when unexpected financial hardship makes tuition difficult to manage. Named for the patron saint of students and scholars, this fund reflects our commitment to supporting families in moments when they need their community the most.

St. Edward–Epiphany has always been a place where children are nurtured in faith, challenged academically, and surrounded by a strong, loving community. For generations, families have invested in a SEES education because they believe deeply in the value of Catholic learning. But even the most dedicated families can face circumstances — job loss, medical emergencies, family transitions, or unforeseen challenges — that temporarily strain their ability to afford tuition.

The Saint Thomas Aquinas Scholarship Endowment is our promise that no child should have to leave the SEES community because of a sudden change in a family’s financial situation.

Growing this endowment ensures that we can respond quickly, compassionately, and responsibly when a family needs help. Funds from this endowment are used exclusively for tuition assistance for current students in grades K–6, keeping our mission strong and our school accessible.

Your support helps us:

• Keep families rooted in the SEES community during difficult seasons
• Ensure continuity in students’ academic, spiritual, and social growth
• Maintain accessibility for hardworking families facing temporary hardship
• Strengthen the long-term financial sustainability of the school
• Live out our Catholic values through compassion, stability, and stewardship

Every gift to the Saint Thomas Aquinas Scholarship Endowment is a gift of stability, hope, and faith. It helps us support families with dignity. It strengthens our community. And it ensures that SEES remains a place where children can learn, pray, grow, and thrive — regardless of what challenges their families may face.

By investing in this endowment today, you help secure the future of Catholic education at SEES and ensure that our school remains a place where every child has the opportunity to stay rooted in Christ and grounded in the traditions that define us.

Thank you for helping us grow this vital resource for our families. Your generosity truly makes a difference.
