Each year there are opportunities for individuals, families and corporations to sponsor a Neumann Scholar by providing a four-year scholarship for an academically talented student to attend an Archdiocesan high school. The projected cost of a four-year scholarship, based upon the announced tuition of $5,100 for academic year 2009-10 and modest tuition increases, is approximately $21,500.

Interested parties are welcome to contact Josephine C. Mandeville, President, at (610) 834-3222 or Jmandeville@connellyfdn.org.

Funding Partners presently include:

• Michael J. O’Neill Family
• Mr. and Mrs. M. White and Family of New York
• Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Nerney and Family

A local group of University of Notre Dame alumni provide scholarships for Neumann Scholars accepted into the Summer Scholars Program for high school juniors at the University of Notre Dame.

A special thanks is extended to the Sisters of St. Joseph, who are united with the Foundation in this mission to enhance educational opportunities in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
