Greater Lansing Catholic Education Foundation

Welcome

The Greater Lansing Catholic Education Foundation (GLCEF) Board of Trustees are grateful for your interest in supporting and promoting our legacy of faith through the 14 Catholic elementary schools, Lansing Catholic High School and religious education programs at parishes throughout the Northwest Region of the Diocese of Lansing. Please take a moment to learn more about the Foundation and our mission to build a legacy of strong financial and community support for Catholic education in the Northwest Region.

Tuition Assistance Grants Awarded

The Greater Lansing Catholic Education Foundation once again offered need-based tuition assistance grants to families with children attending Catholic School in the Northwest Region of the Diocese of Lansing. It was another record-setting year with regard to the number of families that applied for grants and the amount of financial need presented. In total, we had 235 applications representing 448 students that accounted for over $560,000 of documented financial need in our region.

GLCEF offered $90,000 in grants for the upcoming school year. Our revenue, to date, from the Catholic Education Appeal is hovering at about $65,000. It was our goal to fully fund our grants from this appeal. You can help us meet that goal! Make a gift today via our secure website and every dollar you send will go directly toward our tuition assistance grants!

With $90,000 in GLCEF Tuition Assistance Grants, $64,000 in Diocesan Scholarships and $10,000 in Holy Cross Crusaders Scholarships, a total of $164,000 in tuition assistance has been awarded to families in our region. This amount is before the very generous support offered by schools and parishes. The need of our Catholic families is great but with the continued generosity of members of our community, just like you, we can help make a quality Catholic education attainable for all. Please accept these words of thanks from one of this year's grant recipients:

"From the bottom of my heart I thank you and greatly appreciate your gracious gift of GLCEF scholarships for my girls. I could not do this [afford Catholic School] without the help of caring Catholic individuals like yourself - words cannot express my gratitude."
