What is the Katie Fund?

The Katie Fund supports our academic excellence in our daily operations. Every gift is put to work in areas of greatest need across all of our colleges and schools, most notably, for scholarship and financial aid resources for all ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s.

Whether we are responding to unforeseen events that impact the lives of our ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s or seizing the opportunity to invest in exciting new resources, we rely on the flexibility that the Katie Fund provides each year.

"To our donors, I would like to say thank you so much for your generosity! You are helping ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s like me receive aid to have the ability to continue my education."

Thanks to the generosity of our esteemed alumni, St. ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ University proves to be an institution worth investing in.
