Partners in Education

We invite you to become a Partner in Education at Holy Names. Help make someone’s dream come true.

The Partners in Education Scholarship Program has changed the lives of exceptional young women in the greater Capital Region. Established in 1990 to support qualified students who without financial assistance would not be able to attend Academy of the Holy Names, the Partners in Education Scholarship Program provides girls with a future full of hope and promise.

A gift made below contributes to the general Partners in Education fund which helps to fill the gaps in student tuition not completely met by a single partner.  If you are interested in learning more about a four- or seven-year Partner gift for a student in need, please contact Kristin Vivian. Partnership is a gift that can change a student’s life and future opportunities.
