Adopt-A-Student Fund
A Chance to Change a Life

In recent years St. Ignatius has seen an increase in the number of families in our community who require financial assistance to send their child to our parish school. In response to this need, St. Ignatius Parish School began an Adopt-A-Student Fund that will provide financial grants for students that will ensure their dream of a Catholic education is realized.

Inaugural support for the Adopt-A-Student Fund was generously donated by family, friends, and loved ones in memory of Lucille Russell (neé Rominger). The family chose to provide the school with the ability to directly impact a deserving student by giving them an opportunity through an education in the Jesuit tradition and environment of St. Ignatius Parish School.

The Adopt-A-Student Fund is intended to aid students who cannot afford a Catholic school education and accomplish their goal to receive one. Scholarships will be awarded not only on financial need, but also on citizenship and academic merit. Each Adopt-A-Student scholar must adhere to the school’s code of conduct and become involved in an extracurricular activity such as a club, service organization, student government, music or athletics. In addition, each family must pay a portion of the tuition fee — creating a true partnership and investment by all. As a result of the Lucille Russell memorial gift, St. Ignatius Parish School will be able to begin offering assistance through the Adopt-A-Student Fund immediately.
