Sponsor a Scholar

Mr. Harold Clay, Executive Director of McDonogh 35, and his leadership team have decided to provide academic incentives to students as per the attached document. Of course, alumni support is needed to help fund the awards for students. Each one of us is requested to give at least $135 to provide a jacket or cash incentive to students who earn the awards. In addition, at the end of the school year, Mr. Clay would like to recognize students who make noteworthy growth during the year. The first awards will be given at the end of the first semester so we have some time to make our contributions and raise funds for this important endeavor. A link will be added to the drop down menu on our Association’s website so you can donate online. If you prefer to write or send a check, make it payable to the McDonogh 35 Alumni Association and in the memo line write: Donation for Sponsor a Scholar. All donations are welcome. Of course, we are looking for donors who are able to give substantial dollars, so if you are able, give more, and please share this request with others who may have philanthropic goals and financial resources. In addition to financial support, mentors are needed to support and encourage students throughout the year. If you are interested in mentoring a student or a small group of students, contact Ms. Gipson who will be in charge of Culture and Climate at the school.
