The South Jersey Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance to help educate children in schools operated by the Diocese of Camden.

In the 2021-22 school year, nearly half the students attending Catholic schools in the Diocese of Camden applied for tuition assistance, demonstrating a financial need of nearly $13.5 million. From all sources, schools were able to help thousands of students with tuition assistance in the amount of 10,800,000. A portion of that assistance came from the South Jersey Scholarship Fund in the amount of $175,000 to nearly 100 students across all schools. The remaining need to help school families was $2.7 million.

Due to the gap between need and funding, many children who want to go to Catholic school can't afford to. You know these children. They are the sons and daughters of your friends, family members and neighbors; maybe even your children. They represent every ethnic, racial and religious group.  

Many are having a difficult time making ends meet due to unemployment or underemployment, medical bills, or other unforeseen expenses. Your generosity will help these children get the education they desire. Thank you for your support.

Spring Sprint for Scholarships

The race is on with a “Spring Sprint for Scholarships” for the South Jersey Scholarship Fund (SJSF). From May 3 to June 30, the Board of Trustees for the Fund hopes to raise $50,000 for scholarships to help families stay in Catholic schools.

Consider joining in to help reach that goal.
