Donations are applied to...
All funds raised for the Notre Dame Club of Greater Cincinnati will go DIRECTLY to our ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP FUND for Greater Cincinnati undergraduates at Notre Dame – including students from parts of Southeastern Indiana and Northern Kentucky. **When making your donation, PLEASE ALLOCATE IT TO THE CINCINNATI CLUB SCHOLARSHIP FUND (note that this is not the automatic default this year!)** We are currently able to provide about $135,000 in renewable financial aid annually to between 25-40 students, who are selected based on merit. The number of partial scholarships varies each year and the amount of each award is also variable (generally ranging between $500 and $6,000 per year) depending on many factors, including financial need. Your support will help stellar Cincinnati-area students attend Notre Dame and go on to become a force for good in the world.
Notre Dame Club of Cincinnati
ND Cincy is excited to be a part of the 2017 Notre Dame Day! This is the best and easiest opportunity we have to grow our ND Club of Greater Cincinnati Endowed Scholarship Fund. LAST YEAR WE EARNED MORE THAN $12k counting the donations, $8,246 prize pool share based on YOUR votes, and the $1,842 bonus for being the #1 AA Club!! If you donate $10 - AND CHOOSE TO ALLOCATE IT TO OUR CINCINNATI SCHOLARSHIP FUND - and then use the 5 votes you get to vote for the ND Cincy Scholarship - AND BE SURE TO VOTE RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE VOTES CAN'T BE "SAVED FOR LATER" THIS YEAR - our club scholarship will receive approximately $60 based on the expected $10 value of a vote this year. ($1,000,000 prize pool divided by an expected 100,000 votes) IT'S PRETTY TOUGH TO BEAT A $60 CONTRIBUTION FROM YOUR ONE-TIME $10 DONATION!!!
Why are donations necessary?
We are proud to have one of the oldest and largest Alumni Club Scholarship Funds at Notre Dame, with an endowment of more than $2 million and annual awards of approximately $135,000. But with 151 Greater Cincinnati undergraduates at ND and the 2017-2018 total cost of attendance slated to be $69,395, our local students will face a combined total of $10,478,645 in tuition, room, board, and other fees next year. Clearly, our vigorous fundraising must continue – and the chance to compete for “free money” from the ND Day prize and bonus pools makes it a fun and easy way to help!
