A Beacon of Hope

Providing a hopeful future for the children of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany

A Gift of Hope

Creating Educational Opportunities

The Beacon of Hope Scholarship Fund provides families with tuition assistance for their children to attend our Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Albany. Through this fund, we give the gift of potential to a young person. Every dollar donated directly benefits a student in the form of tuition assistance.

What Beacon of Hope Recipients Say

Our daughter has blossomed into a phenomenal student in an atmosphere of Catholic teachings and values.

Mother of a Beacon of Hope Recipient

Albany, NY

We value the education that our children receive from this high quality educational institution. We are a family of seven and this will help defray the costs of sending our children to this exceptional school.

Father of a Beacon of Hope Recipient

Albany, NY

You don't know how grateful I was when my daughter got picked. I am a single mother who is trying to give my daughter the best education and life I can. When I opened the letter I just cried. God works in great ways.
