SS. PETER AND PAUL PARISH FOUNDATION - Scholarship Program

Each year the SS. Peter and Paul Parish Foundation provides scholarships to students from our parish entering or currently attending Catholic high schools, high school graduates entering college, as well as continuing college students, and students entering vocational and/or trade schools within or outside a college.  These students within our parish community have demonstrated their devotion to and involvement in their Catholic faith, proven excellence in the classroom, active involvement in extra-curricular activities, and active participation in community organizations.
 
Since 2001, more than $350,000 has been awarded to nearly 200 students from our parish community.  These deserving students have gone on to attend top high schools, colleges and universities including St. Francis, Jesuit, Stanford, UC Davis, MIT, UC Berkeley, Gonzaga, Creighton, Dominican, and UCLA. The Foundation is now offering scholarships to students interested in going to a vocational or trade school.
 
The Foundation established an endowment to ensure the long-term support of the students from SS. Peter and Paul Parish.  As the endowment grows, it will support the students of today and those generations to come. 
 
The General Scholarship Fund, as well as the Father Michael J. Dillon Scholarship Endowment Fund, is administered by the SS. Peter and Paul Parish Foundation Board of Trustees who are comprised of parishioners appointed by the pastor.  Funds are generated through the support of our parish family through annual campaigns, outright gifts and planned giving.
