Celebrate Your Class with a Special Gift 


Please consider a contribution to one of the following funds in honor of your 50th reunion:
Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship – making a gift to annual scholarships allows the university to continue offering the gift of a Holy Cross education to further generations.   

The Truth and Justice Endowed Scholarship in Honor of Maryhill College
– an anonymous donor has endowed the first scholarship to honor Maryhill College. A gift to an endowed scholarship provides for student financial needs in perpetuity.
