Adopt a Student Program
Help Clear a Student From the Wait List Today!
How You Can Help
The Adopt a Student program is an innovative program that seeks
to connect benefactors with students who want a brighter faith-filled future nurtured by a Catholic school education.
Currently, there are 7,000 students on the wait list. "What are they waiting for?" They are waiting for your to reach out and help them stay in school. [Click Adopt Me to see
how many students are on the waitlist at your Alma Mater.]
These results speak for themselves
98% of CEF supported Catholic school students go on to graduate from high school and attend college. These figures are outstanding when compared to LA Unified School District's graduation rates of 40%.
Support a Child's Educational Dream
Recipients of tuition assistance have significant financial need. Often, these families have to rely on financial assistance to afford the rising costs of tuition to avoid the pitfalls that many others find in public schools. Thousands of children
in the Los Angeles area live at or below the poverty level making tuition payments at a Catholic school far beyond their reach. [In 2011 the average annual income of a CEF family of four dropped from $24,000 to $22,000.]
Sponsor a Child Today!
Choose your level of support. Helping a child achieve academic success in a Catholic school is now easier than ever. We offer various giving options that fit your comfort level.
Monthly giving is an incredibly convenient way to give. Your monthly contribution of $67 dollars will provide an elementary student with a tuition scholarship that
will make a difference in the child's life. The Adopt a Student program is not a handout, the family of the child must do their part to cover the remaining
balance through service, volunteer work or an arranged monthly contribution.
CEF scholarship recipients learn to give back.
CEF graduates are educated on the importance of giving back to their community and encouraged to begin the process giving early in their adulthood with manageable increments as they enter the workforce.
To further illustrate the point, many grateful recipients start the giving process early in gradeschool with donations of one dollar.
