The Madonna Difference

The Madonna Foundation, established in 2001 by the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago, is a charitable entity that increases access for young women to attend Catholic high schools in the Chicago area. The Foundation annually awards tuition grants to about 60 girls who demonstrate financial need and the potential for academic achievement. Financial support averages $2,700 per year. In many cases, without the Foundation’s financial aid, these young women would not be able to attend Catholic School.
