Endowments

Cardinal Gibbons High School is grateful to the farsighted benefactors who have contributed to endowments benefiting our students. Gifts to the endowment provide a permanent source of income to the school while allowing the principal to grow. The funds are invested in perpetuity with a designated percentage of the earned income available for use on an annual basis. A strong endowment allows Cardinal Gibbons High School to meet the needs of ever increasing costs and keep tuition affordable for all families seeking an exceptional Catholic education rooted in faith, service, and leadership.

The Franciscan Brothers Endowment

The Franciscan Brothers Endowment was established upon Br. Michel Bettigole's retirement from Cardinal Gibbons High School in 2006 as a way to honor his work and that of the Franciscan Brothers of Brooklyn who served our school from 1994 through 2006. All donations to the Franciscan Brothers Endowment are intended for tuition assistance to serve students and families most in need.

The Sister Teresita and Sisters of Notre Dame Award

The Jack Ratz, Jr. Memorial Award

The Jack Ratz, Jr. Memorial Award is in memory of Jack Ratz, Jr. Jack was an avid golfer and student at Cardinal Gibbons when he lost his life in a tragic accident in 1988.

This one-year, $1,000 financial aid award is provided to a student each year.
