The Holy Trinity Youth Education Trust was established in 1985 by Father Thomas Fahey, Sister Josephine Konrad, OLVM and Sister Rose Zita Rosonke, OLVM. The purpose of the Trust is to give college or trade school scholarships as an encouragement and reward for high school youth's participation in faith formation programs, youth activities and parish life. The trust currently provides a small scholarship for their first year of post secondary education. Through the generosity of parishioners, parish organizations, and the parish youth themselves, scholarships have been awarded to high school seniors every year since 1985.
The original vision was for a corpus to be built and from the return on that corpus was to come funding for the scholarships, but the desire to provide scholarships superseded it. In 2007, the trustees rededicated their efforts to achieve the original vision of having a corpus to fund the scholarships. Our goal, therefore, has been to have a corpus of at least $120,000.00, which,with a 5% return, would allow for up to $6,000.00 in scholarships each year. As of June 30, 2014, we are proud to announce that we have achieved this goal.
Our goal now is to achieve a corpus of at least $280,000.00. This will allow the Trust to increase the duration ofthe scholarships from a one-year to a two-year scholarship. Once we have reached this goal, our goal will be a corpuse of at least $600,000.00. Then the duration of the scholarship will become four years. After that, we will strive to increase the number and the amount of the scholarships.
As of 2018, more than $124,350 has been awarded to 154 parish high school youth.
