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 $5,350 for academic year 2010-11 and modest tuition increases, is approximately $22,500.

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
• Avery Foundation
• Daniel and Joan Hilferty

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 and the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who are united with the Foundation in this mission to enhance educational opportunities in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
