A Saint Martin education is robust and academically rigorous, dedicated to developing the whole student while preparing students to shape the future workforce.  Above all, it remains affordable for our students and their families.

Your partnership allows us to deliver on these promises.  With a Support a Scholar gift, you join a community of leaders committed to the mission of Saint Martin de Porres High School and making a difference in the lives of young people in Cleveland.

Investment in Our Financial Model 

Each Support a Scholar gift is an investment in one of our students and covers the gap between the cost to educate our students and the funding we receive from other sources. 

While our operating costs rise each year, the fees we charge to our families stays small and fixed. 

Gifts at the Summa Cum Laude level ($9000) cover the cost to educate after the family contribution, Magna Cum Laude gifts ($4,600) cover half of the gap, and Cum Laude ($2300) gifts cover a quarter of the gap.

Support A Scholar gifts are the easiest way to make a direct impact on our students and their families, and are an investment in shaping Cleveland’s future leaders.

Impact 

The impact of your investment at Saint Martin extends beyond the classroom into the workplace. By bridging the tuition gap, you provide students with access to 1,500 hours of real-world work experience at leading organizations, where they develop practical skills and build connections that will help them thrive in the workforce. This unique combination of rigorous academics and corporate exposure ensures that our students are college ready and career prepared.

Your leadership gift helps us deliver a  "promise for life" that follows our graduates long after they leave our halls. By supporting the Annual Fund with a Support a Scholar gift, you are empowering a generation of students of modest means to overcome financial barriers,  achieve their dreams, and return to our community as the next generation of Cleveland’s leaders.
