An outstanding education is expensive and labor intensive, particularly as we strive to meet the accelerating costs of new technology, facilities and infrastructure. Our greatest investment, however, should be in the people at the center of the Academy – our students and faculty. Increasing the endowment will allow us to increase the salaries and benefits of our exceptional faculty and provide additional financial support to qualified students who otherwise would not be able to attend Notre Dame.

The Sister Regina Fund for Financial Aid

When Sister Regina Finnegan was President of the Academy of Notre Dame, she recognized the urgent need to increase funding for financial aid. During her years at the Academy she was entrusted with contributions from several sources to address these needs. In 2004, the Sister Regina Fund for Financial Aid was formally established by the Board of Trustees to ensure that contributions would be retained and used expressly for financial aid purposes.

A capital campaign gift directed toward the Sister Regina Fund for Financial Aid is a gift to the Academy’s endowment that will further Sister’s legacy and will help present and future students to achieve their potential.
