Our Work

The CSF Class of 2026 is graduating with extraordinary momentum. This year, 195 seniors reached the finish line together, achieving a 100% graduation rate. Even more inspiring, this year, 96.4% of CSF's Senior Scholars will matriculate to college, the US military, or trade school in the fall!

These outcomes reflect the hard work, resilience, and ambition of CSF Scholars, as well as the life-changing impact of donor support. Because of donors, students have had access to the academic support, mentorship, guidance, and encouragement needed to pursue their next steps with confidence.

This year’s seniors also reported an impressive $2,683,372 in college scholarship awards, helping make higher education more affordable and attainable for families across the CSF community.

Bridge the Gap: Help 4,300 Students Before June 30

This year, the Catholic Schools Foundation awarded more than $18 million in scholarships to 4,300 students across Greater Boston.

Because of generous supporters like you, thousands of students are able to access a life-changing Catholic education. Today, one in eight Catholic school students in Greater Boston receives support from CSF.

But as June 30 quickly approaches, we are facing a significant gap between the resources available and the growing need from families seeking scholarship assistance for the year ahead.

We need your help to close that gap before the fiscal year ends.

Please make your final year-end gift to CSF today to help ensure that students who are counting on scholarship support can continue their education without interruption. Your support directly helps a student who is counting on scholarship assistance to stay in school.

Make Your Final Year-End Gift to CSF by June 30!

Donor Support Makes These Outcomes Possible

Behind every acceptance letter, scholarship award, and graduation milestone is a student who has worked hard and a community that believed in them. Donor support helps CSF Scholars access the opportunities that make these achievements possible, from high-quality education to college counseling, enrichment, and long-term encouragement.

The Class of 2026’s success is not only measured in graduation rates, college acceptances, or scholarship dollars. It is measured in the doors that are opening for students and the futures they are now prepared to pursue.

Thanks to the generosity of CSF donors, these seniors are stepping confidently into their next chapter.
