The Saint Pius X Endowment Fund was established in 1993 to address the growing need for financial assistance at Saint Pius X High School . Funds for the Endowment were raised over the years by the Saint Pius X Alumni Association primarily through the annual golf outing that was run by David Psota and the his committee . The purpose of the Fund was to provide financial assistance to students of Saint Pius X related to tuition and school fees . Recipients must have demonstrated financial need and either graduated from a Saint Pius X partner school or belonged to a Saint Pius X partner parish .
