The Maria Grazia Panaro Endowed Scholarship Fund Supporting Students with Intellectual Disabilities was established to grant tuition assistance for students with intellectual disabilities requiring a modified curriculum attending a Catholic School of the diocese and demonstrating financial need for tuition assistance.
Support the Future: Give the Gift of Opportunity
Every child deserves a chance to learn, grow, and thrive in a nurturing environment that respects their dignity and supports their full potential. Our Catholic schools are called to serve all God’s children.
By making a gift to the endowment, you directly support tuition assistance for students with intellectual disabilities attending Catholic schools in our diocese. These are students whose families demonstrate financial need and who would otherwise be unable to access the inclusive, faith-filled education that our schools provide.
Your contribution helps:
- Open doors to inclusive Catholic education for students with unique learning needs
- Ensure that families who are already facing financial challenges can still choose a school that aligns with their values and supports their child’s development
- Uphold the mission of Catholic education: to educate the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—in light of the Gospel
- Build stronger, more compassionate school communities where diversity of ability is embraced and celebrated
This endowment is not just about funding tuition—it’s about making a permanent commitment to inclusion, equity, and the belief that all children, regardless of their abilities, belong in our Catholic schools.
Join us in this mission. Give the gift of opportunity, belonging, and faith.
