Educational Scholarship Fund

We understand the sacrifice which families make to send their children to Catholic school. For this reason, we value our school's ability to provide tuition assistance. It is with the support of our community that we are able to advance our mission and help our OLGC families in need. We are grateful for our benefactors over the years!

The Vollbrecht Fund which supported our tuition assistance since the 1990's was established through a generous donation from the Vollbrecht family and now our tuition assistance fund is being replenished with a generous donation from the Magera family. With this gift we can establish a new investment fund called the Our Lady of Good Counsel Educational Scholarship Fund. Our hope is to provide scholarships to OLGC families desiring a Catholic education for their children for many years to come.


The Fund Supports

    1. OLGC Parish School Families
    2. OLGC Parish Families Seeking a Secondary School Catholic Education (we will distribute $500 awards to 10 families)

As we are able to, scholarship monies will be awarded to families who have demonstrated a need through the application process listed below.

Please consider giving to this fund so we can continue making a Catholic education possible for every family who wants one. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
