STUDENT SPONSORSHIP
|
"I cannot begin to describe
the gratitude that I have for
what you do for rme. Your help
has opened many doors and
given me many more
opportunities that would not
have been available to me
otherwise. Without your help,
I would not have the privilege
to enjoy such a fine Jesuit
education, which is one of the
things I am most grateful for
in my life"
"My ultimate goal in life is to
obtain a great career, family,
and friends and be the best
person I can be. I really
believe because of your
contribution, you have
facilitated those dreams and
I don't know if you realize that,
but I wanted to let you know
just how much your gift means
to me and my family."
Excerpts from letters to
Student Sponsors from their
financial aid student |
Many supporters of Strake Jesuit, whether they are longtime contributors or have been waiting for the right opportunity to get involved, consider sponsoring a financial aid student. As a sponsor, they are able to meet the student they are supporting and watch him grow throughout his Jesuit experience. They find it a very personal and rewarding way to reach out to a deserving young man and impact his life in a meaningful way.
"We have been blessed with the personal relationship established with the student we are sponsoring through The Captain Andrew R. Houghton Foundation," said George Houghton. "It is rewarding for my wife, Cindy, and I to know the story of the student, to follow his accomplishments at Jesuit and to be a part of his life as he becomes a
Man for Others."
For more information on sponsoring a student, contact N.J. Santarcangelo, the Director of Development, at 713.490.8152 or by
e-mail.
