Ensuring ACCESS with a Robust Endowment

De La Salle understands that the unlocking of a student’s potential should not be tied to his ability to pay for a high-quality education. De La Salle hopes to ensure proportionate accessibility for a diverse student body by growing funds for the Financial Aid Endowment. Its success in raising the size of the endowment substantially heightens De La Salle’s ability to answer the growing need for financial aid from families in the increasingly squeezed middle class as well as low-income families.

Over 30% of De La Salle’s student population receives some form of tuition assistance based upon need annually. Recognizing the tremendous potential but modest means of so many of its students, the school believes in these young men and in doing everything possible to provide them the financial support they need.

By increasing the endowment by an additional $15 million, De La Salle expects to more effectively manage financial aid resources in support of students in need. This allocation of new resources will allow the school to:

1) stabilize anticipated tuition increases year-over-year; and

2) re-allocate tuition resources currently dedicated to financial assistance in support of varied operational programs and improvements benefitting all students.

The need for additional endowment resources will continue to grow. As more students desire a Catholic, Lasallian education, De La Salle's mission is to continue to assure access to the school's challenging academic program and co-curricular opportunities for all qualified students, especially low-income families and the middle class. So while our initial goal of $15 million has been achieved, Access will continue to be a fundraising priority, now and into the future. Our young men and their families are grateful for the opportunty they have been given; to be a part of our community, to receive a De La Salle education, and to prepare for the next steps in their lives.

De La Salle's endowment resources are well below the levels of those high schools to which it is compared:
