James F. Gill Family Education Fund Scholarship

There is a plaque on the wall between Corpus Christi Catholic church and school by an unknown author which reads as follow...
Be it known to all who enter here that
CHRIST
is the reason for this school.
He is the unseen but ever present teacher in
its classes. He is the model of its faculty
and the inspiration of its students.
In a small way, the James F. Gill Family Educational Fund will assist in supporting the aforementioned proclamation. The fund is designed to provide student scholarships and financial support of the school for decades and potentially centuries into the future providing far greater benefits than the initial contribution.
The James F. Gill Family Education Fund Scholarship Application is now closed.
