Investment earnings from an endowment provide transformational AND sustainable funding for Moreau Catholic High School. Named endowed scholarship opportunities begin with a gift or pledge of $10,000 or more. An endowed scholarship is considered fully funded (providing the minimum MCHS scholarship/financial aid award) when it reaches $50,000.

Endowed scholarships have a perpetual impact meaning that the restricted capital provides a permanent source of scholarship income to support Mariner students in the future. The principal is invested in a disciplined manner and the earnings and investment appreciation are channeled back into the fund. This allows the endowment to grow over time and become a source of long-term support that can be maintained permanently to honor donors and amplify their passion for scholastic excellence, connecting and strengthening our future together. 

Together, we can honor our Holy Cross pillar of being family by ensuring that qualified and talented students from all backgrounds can be part of our Mariner family and learn with and from one another. Endowing a scholarship provides much-needed ongoing support to our tuition assistance program and helps us maintain our diverse learning community that benefits each and every student.

Bernie Puccini Scholarship

Janet and Laura Pessagno Lopez Scholarship

In the Holy Cross tradition of being family, you can make a donation in memory or in honor of a loved one. All income will be used to provide tuition assistance for qualified students based on need. These gifts can be given to honor a birthday, anniversary, or special occasion of a current student, alumni, or friend of Moreau Catholic, or in memory of a loved one who has passed. In Memoriam honorees are included in the Book of Remembrance, which is housed in the school chapel. The Moreau Catholic community will honor your loved one during masses and prayer services.

The Office of Advancement will send a letter to the family of the deceased or to the honoree informing them of your gift. The amount of your gift is kept confidential and you can remain anonymous. We do ask that you permit us to list the name of the person(s) being honored or remembered in the Vector magazine. 

For more information, please contact the Office of Advancement at (510) 881-4322.
