Before the start of the Live Auction, we will collect your table’s bid card. 3. The table with the highest amount collectively will get to pick dessert first.

The financial aid the endowment has provided to thousands of families is a core part of the Academy’s mission and is rooted in the charism of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary: a firm and enduring commitment to serving people of diverse backgrounds. The need for financial aid continues to grow each year. In 2018-19, nearly one-third of all students attending HNA (32.3%) received financial assistance, totaling more than $1.56 million. By strengthening the Scholarship Endowment Fund, we ensure that the funds it generates will allow future generations of young women to benefit from the outstanding education available at the Academy.
