Thank you for your generosity
Dear Fordham Prep Donors ,
This year we celebrate Fordham Prep ' s 175th Anniversary . During this time , eight generations of young men have been the recipients of a Catholic , Jesuit education on the Rose Hill Campus .
In many regards , the history of Fordham Prep can be read as a collection of stories - the stories of students who arrived here as young men , were transformed by the values of faith , scholarship and service , and after graduation earned positions of leadership in all levels of civil society and the Church .
But Fordham Prep ' s story is also a collection of stories about generosity : from the generous dedication and vision of our founder ,
Archbishop John Hughes , who worked tirelessly to establish a network of Catholic schools in response to prejudice and bigotry , to the Prep ' s loyal alumni and parents - past and present - who devote philanthropic resources to make the Prep accessible to young men from families of modest means and help us to improve our campus facilities .
Today ' s Fordham Prep is an amalgam of highly qualified students from over 110 zip codes who receive more than $ 4.5 million in financial assistance and scholarship funding . It is the only independent secondary school in New York City located on a university campus . With a complement of 18 sports , performing arts programs , access to university courses and , a global educational initiative in which students study at Jesuit secondary schools all over the world , the Prep prepares its students today to take their place as leaders , fully committed to serving their neighbors and their communities . None of this would be possible if not for your generosity . And for it , I am profoundly grateful . Thank you .
Sincerely yours ,
Rev . Christopher J . Devron , SJ President
