The Cabrini Mission Foundation welcomed the New Year by awarding tuition scholarships for the 2024/2025 school year. This year, eight students from four different schools across New York State were selected to receive tuition assistance.
To qualify, students completed an application process that included submitting an essay about Mother Cabrini. This initiative is part of the Foundation’s ongoing effort to celebrate Mother Cabrini’s legacy in New York and her commitment to the education of the heart.
One of the scholarship recipients shared their thoughts:
“A Catholic school education, as valuable as it is, can be a financial struggle for many, especially single mothers. Mother Cabrini’s love and dedication to humanity and education highlight her vision of hope and improvement for young people. Her legacy shows that she believed every child could reach their full potential, become leaders, and develop critical thinking skills, regardless of their circumstances. I understand why she felt the world was too small for her mission. A woman who devoted her life to helping others is exactly what the world needs today. Love, hope, and faith. I’m grateful that even after her passing, her legacy continues, and this scholarship is proof that I am one of the many young students benefiting from someone who cared for others.”
The Foundation’s scholarship application window opens each September through Thanksgiving with awards announced at the end of December. The Foundation firmly believes that education is a key to success and hopes that this tuition assistance will help these students continue to excel in their academic pursuits.
