Lighting the Way for Students
Our Mission

At the heart of the Adopt-A-Student Program is a simple but powerful belief: every child deserves access to a quality Catholic education—regardless of their financial circumstances.

 

Our mission is to provide scholarship awards to students from families who demonstrate financial need, enabling them to attend Central Catholic elementary, junior high, and high schools within the Diocese of Worcester. These scholarships are awarded not only based on financial eligibility but also on the student’s academic promise and desire to learn in a faith-filled, values-driven environment.

 

We seek to support students who are committed to growing intellectually, spiritually, and morally, and who embrace the tradition of Catholic education that forms both minds and hearts. By doing so, we help shape future leaders who live with integrity, compassion, and a deep sense of purpose.

 

Since its founding, the Adopt-A-Student Program has remained dedicated to opening doors of opportunity—making a lasting impact on the lives of students, their families, and our broader community. We believe that by investing in these young individuals today, we are building a brighter, more faithful, and more just society for tomorrow.
