Our Needs

Bishop Dunne's most critical need is for tuition assistance funds that will benefit students who lack financial resources, but desire a faith-based, rigorous, college preparatory environment.

Tuition Assistance provides robust financial aid for need-based assistance funds and merit scholarships for our students. This year alone, more that 55 percent of our students received financial assistance.

Professional Development supports training, certification and specialty development for our faculty and staff. 

Technology and Infrastructure for ongoing network, hardware, and software needs, ensuring our students, faculty and staff stay connected, both on campus and remotely. This year, more than ever, our technology gave us the tools to keep teaching.

Student Enrichment programs designed to support the growth of the whole child within our community of faith, ensuring our students are prepared for success in college and beyond. These programs include the College Ready Academy and the Collegiate Institute.
