Endowments & Scholarships

At O’Dea, we believe that financial need should never be a barrier to a transformative education. Supporting socio-economic diversity has been central to our mission and continues to be a cornerstone of our commitment to providing an inclusive, transformative education for all students.

Every dollar given to our endowments contributes directly to the O’Dea Capital Campaign, with a goal of raising $6 million to support future generations of students.

Endowments provide long-term financial support, allowing us to offer meaningful tuition assistance to students and families. Many of these funds have been established by and named after individual donors as a way to honor someone special, such as a parent, teacher, coach, or classmate. Graduation and class reunions are also great opportunities to talk with your classmates about building your O’Dea legacy through a class endowment.

Establish a New Named Endowment

Create a family legacy or honor a loved one or an O’Dea graduating class with a scholarship fund in their name. Once the fund reaches $25,000, O’Dea will award an annual scholarship to a deserving student in financial need.

Contribute to O'Dea's General Endowment

You can also establish an endowment to meet other needs of the school, such as faculty development, technology, or other specific academic areas.
