Her spirit of faith, service and leadership, in the ordinary moments made a large impact.
The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Endowment Fund is a scholarship fund that helps students in need to attend Monsignor Donovan Catholic High School.

Tuition Assistance at Donovan

Monsignor Donovan Catholic High School makes educational excellence affordable. First, we strive to keep our tuition as low as possible while maintaining rigorous standards in both the quality of our faculty and our buildings and campus. Our tuition assistance program further enables us to lower the financial burden on middle and low income families. With the addition of the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program, we are now able to provide greater support on a sliding scale to families that qualify.
All families are allowed to request aid during the application process and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis through documents submitted to FACTS, our independent financial aid service. Depending on the student’s previous enrollment, aid may come from either Georgia GOAL Scholarships or from our Monsignor Donovan tuition assistance budget. Georgia GOAL Scholarships, awarded on the basis of need, are restricted by law to students transferring from public school or homeschool. All students are eligible on the basis of need for aid from our general tuition assistance budget.
