Tuition Assistance

The McMahon Parater Foundation recognizes the importance of affordable Catholic education for all families. Currently, tuition assistance does not keep pace with the needs of even the lowest income families. By providing tuition assistance through scholarships, the Foundation helps to ensure that schools in the Diocese of Richmond remain a financially viable option for Catholic families and others who share our values.

Academic Resources and Programs

The Foundation recognizes that there are significant academic resources and programs critical to Catholic schools in order for them to remain competitive. Funds will be available for innovative curriculum enhancements, state of the art technology and science labs, and expanded athletic facilities. These resources and programs will augment classroom instruction and enhance the overall student experience.

Professional Development Opportunities

The Foundation believes it is imperative that educators are provided with meaningful and relevant professional development opportunities on a regular basis. Professional development enables teachers to be on the leading edge of advances in education practices and to continue and further their knowledge of the Catholic faith. 

This results in teachers who are able to pass on the gifts of both faith and knowledge to students through word and example. Through these ongoing opportunities, teachers receive appropriate religious and professional formation to enable them to live out their vocation to educate effectively.
