At Holy Cross Preparatory Academy, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing life-changing opportunities for exceptional students through access to a premier Catholic education. Our Lancer Legacy Scholarship Program will directly support that commitment, ensuring we continue to attract, form, and graduate resilient leaders who are prepared to make meaningful contributions to the world.
These annual, donor-funded scholarships recognize the region’s most outstanding incoming freshmen. Awardees demonstrate excellence in academics, the arts, leadership, and faith-driven service.
​
Aligned with our strategic focus on the arts, STEM, and leadership development, these awards begin with the Class of 2030 and help elevate the Holy Cross Prep experience from the very start.
Contributions of $10,000 or more (a $2,500 annual scholarship over four years for one student) can be designated toward a specific Merit-Based Scholarship category — such as STEM, the arts, or faith and service — helping us sustain these transformative opportunities.
​
Your generosity ensures that deserving young leaders can enroll at Holy Cross Prep with confidence and thrive in our exceptional programs.

ANGEL DONOR SCHOLARSHIPS
Sponsor a Child in Need!
In serving as the premier Catholic institute for education and leadership in South Jersey, we believe in ensuring a Holy Cross Prep education is affordable and accessible to all who seek one. As such, admitted students who have demonstrated academic excellence and a commitment to faith, service, or leadership, may be supported by an Angel Donor if/when their family is in financial need.
Our Angel Donors become true partners in our mission, walking alongside students as they grow into resilient leaders and lifelong learners.​
*25-26 Goal: Thirty student sponsors at $5,000 each, or a total of $150,000.
ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS
Rewarding Academic Excellence!
Support Holy Cross Prep's efforts in recognizing incoming students who have performed within the top percentile of their class - nationally and locally - on the High School Placement Test (HSPT). The HSPT is a required part of our admissions process each year.
​
Depending on the performance on the exam, and a review of a student’s academic records, the student may be awarded a President’s Scholarship, Principal’s Scholarship, or Academic Scholarship. Due to your generosity, our Academic Scholarships allow Holy Cross Prep to continue to reward students for their academic excellence.
