A key to establishing a meaningful, on-going relationship between Nativity and its significant supporters is through the sponsorship of a Nativity student.

There are two types of sponsorships: The Nativity Academic Scholarship and The Nativity Comprehensive Sponsorship. Both allow sponsors to witness first-hand the tremendous impact of Nativity’s programs on an individual student.

The Nativity Academic Scholarship

A gift of $5,000 per year provides 11 months of a Nativity education for one student. As a sponsor, you support the dynamic learning environment that has proven to be successful. You become a significant supporter of our fight for quality urban education.

The Nativity Comprehensive Sponsorship

A gift of $10,000 per year provides one Nativity student with an 11-hour school day, an 11-month school year and a student-teacher ratio of 4:1. From books to school ties to team uniforms, your contribution underwrites all costs associated with a rigorous Nativity education. Most importantly, you assist us in our mission to reach the mind, body and spirit of the student.

To nurture this meaningful relationship, a sponsor receives personal letters as well as academic progress reports on the student that your contribution supports. Nativity finds convenient ways for sponsors to meet with their sponsored students at area functions and school events.

The Nativity Pledge

The Nativity Pledge is a four-year commitment that secures a brilliant future for the student and for the school itself. You ensure Nativity’s financial viability by pledging $10,000 per year for the four years of a student’s education. More importantly, you guarantee that a Nativity education - taken root in the fifth grade - will fully blossom as the student heads off to attend the area’s best high schools. It is a demonstrable commitment to the life of a disadvantaged child from Worcester.
