About

The SEUnity Project is a volunteer and crowdfunding initiative that celebrates the strength of our community and honors our shared values of service, reverence, and teamwork. United by our Holy Cross mission, our SEU family empowers generations of Hilltoppers to climb toward success year after year.

But each year, there is a difference between what we ask families to pay in tuition and what it actually costs to educate students. That difference — what we and many other schools call the "gap" — is approximately $6,057 per Hilltopper per academic year. To close that gap, we humbly ask for charitable gifts from community members like you.

Like many other nonprofits, St. Edward's has a crucial fundraising deadline on June 30. With the fall semester quickly approaching, students need your help more than ever. That's why David Sprague '95 has offered to give $20K to the Area of Greatest Need if we reach 350 donors by 11:59 p.m. on June 30.

Your support not only provides essential resources for scholarships, classroom materials, instructional technology, campus utilities, clubs and programs, student services, and other annual expenses — it also enriches the entire St. Ed's experience for students from all backgrounds, helping them grow personally, intellectually, and spiritually. Will you make your gift by June 30 and unlock $20K for Hilltoppers?

Updates
Thank you for empowering Hilltoppers and strengthening our SEU family!

We're so grateful to all of the incredible SEU alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends who gave their talent and treasure to make part two of The SEUnity Project an inspiring and memorable community effort. Thanks to you, our Hilltoppers will start the fall semester on the right hoof, equipped with the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. We deeply appreciate all you do to uphold the Holy Cross mission that unites generations of Hilltoppers.

Toppers Up!

​Ellie Ghaznavi '89 and David Sprague '95 just offered a challenge: If enough donors join The SEUnity Project, we'll unlock $30K+ for Hilltoppers!

You heard it here first: Ellie will give $10K when we hit 50% of our SEUnity Project donor goal, and David will give $20K if we reach 100% by June 30.
