Giving Priorities

List of 4 items.

  • Cupola Fund

    The Cupola Fund is unrestricted annual giving and serves as the lifeblood of our ongoing operations. Annual contributions support the transformative education we provide to the next generation of leaders and help to make up the gap between tuition and the actual cost to educate a student.

  • Scholarship

    Tuition assistance and scholarship ensures accessibility to a Mount de Sales education. Approximately 52% of our students receive some form of financial assistance, and we are currently able to support 35-40% of the calculated financial need. Often, our ability to offer tuition assistance is the difference between a student becoming a Sailor or the family being unable to afford tuition.
