Every year SHA gives out around 650-700k in scholarships to our students and families, ensuring ANYONE who wishes to send their children to our Academy is able to do so. Some of these monies come in the form of both diocesan and private grants, but the rest comes from generous investors who support our Patronis Cordis (friend of the heart) scholarship initiative within the Annual Fund. Please consider being a “friend of the heart” as a Living Stone investor on November 5, and assist our students directly through Patronis Cordis! Annual Fund Launch Day - November 5, 2025 ...
