Endowments & Scholarships

Supporting young men who have been accepted to O’Dea who require financial assistance to attend, is a significant part of our mission in service to our community. Socio-economic diversity is woven throughout the fabric of O’Dea’s history and continuing that mission into our future is critical. This year, the need is $2 million.

Endowments provide long-term financial support, which provide tuition assistance for students and families. O’Dea has endowments that have been established by, and named after, individual donors. Setting up an endowment is a wonderful way to honor someone special, such as a parent, teacher, coach, or classmate. Graduation and class reunions are also a great time to talk with your classmates about building your O’Dea legacy through a class endowment.

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

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.
