Our scholarship program is a three-way partnership between San Damiano Scholars, our partner schools and our families and scholars, all of whom are invested in the educational success of the students we serve. Our school partners are urban Catholic schools in the city of Baton Rouge: Redemptorist St. Gerard School, St. Francis Xavier School and Cristo Rey Baton Rouge Franciscan High School.

Redemptorist St. Gerard School

The mission of Redemptorist St. Gerard School provides Catholic formation in which students enhance spirituality, pursue academic excellence, and create caring community as they develop their God-given potential.

St. Francis Xavier School

The mission of St. Francis Xavier School is to provide for the spiritual, academic, social, physical, and emotional growth and development of its students in a Christian environment.

Franciscan High School

Franciscan High School’s mission is to prepare young people for lives of faith, purpose and service.

Committed to our mission to serve students from communities most in need, our college preparatory curriculum integrates rigorous content with meaningful work experience and faith formation.

Inspired by the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady to be living witnesses to the Gospel message, we are committed to the teachings of the Catholic Church and the fulfillment of each student’s God given potential.
