Xavier High School has a long tradition of providing tuition assistance to both students with outstanding academic ability and to students with financial need. Xavier's endowment is the primary means by which we provide both merit-based and need-based aid to students. Gifts to Xavier’s endowment are placed in Xavier's endowment fund and invested.

Donors have various options when establishing an endowed scholarship. Xavier's Advancement office will work with you to ensure that your wishes and hopes are realized while helping keep Xavier affordable and accessible.

Xavier draws approximately 4% annually from its endowment. A full-tuition, named scholarship may be endowed with a gift of $500,000, and a half-tuition named scholarship may be endowed with a gift of $250,000.

A donor may make a pledge to establish a scholarship and choose to pay it off over a three to five year period. Pledges can be fulfilled utilizing any asset class from cash or securities, to gifts from an estate or, for those 70½ years of age or older, from an IRA.

Gifts can also be made at any time to any pre-existing endowed scholarships.

We are here to help you help our Sons and friends of Xavier. For more information about endowment gifts, please contact Shane Lavin '03 at (212) 337-7611 or lavins@xavierhs.org.

Xavier also provides the opportunity to directly support a current student in need by making a scholarship gift. These current-use gifts help many students year after year who would be unable to attend Xavier without financial support.

Pursuing "excellence in every endeavor" means our students deserve facilities as exceptional as they are. Teaching and learning has changed greatly over our 177-year history. Maintaining and updating learning spaces and other facilities allows us to continue evolving and growing.  Xavier has a number of opportunities for donors wishing to direct their gift towards capital facilities projects and improvements as well endowing programs or activities.
