Endowments & Scholarships

There are two ways to contribute to an endowment:

1. 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. The award amount is 4% of the fund’s value as of the end of each calendar year.

2. Contribute to General Scholarship Endowment

The General Endowment Fund supports students with financial need. You also can establish a new endowment for other specific needs of the school, such as faculty development, technology, or other specific academic areas.

To establish or contribute to an endowment, please contact Advancement Director, Allie Thomas, at athomas@odea.org or (206) 923-7540.
