As a non-profit, independent, private Catholic high school, Bishop strives to keep student tuition affordable while governing the school with dedication, fulfilling its mission statement to educate students to meet the enduring challenge of realizing their God-given potential in a multi-cultural society. It is an essential need to provide educational opportunities for all who qualify and have the desire to attend our college preparatory program. With this in mind, the Board of Trustees created the Adopt-A-Student Program, the sole purpose of which is to provide financial aid for students with demonstrated need. Below are a list of funds that also assist Bishop High School students as they pursue their goals.

Frs. Sal, Alexander and Alonso Fund
In 2005, a special Fund honoring Fathers Salvadore Parisi, OFM, Alexander Manville, OFM, and Alonso De Blas, OFM, was established. These three teachers represent many years of dedicated service to Catholic High and Bishop High students. They are honored for their dedication to the Cardinal Values, their years of service and the spirit of leadership they imparted.
BGDHS has established this Fund for the Future to support, uphold and perpetuate the educational work of Bishop Garcia Diego High School, Inc. An endowment is a fund that is created so that the principal deposit remains intact in perpetuity. Only the income that the principal generates may be expended. Friends of Bishop and Alumni alike are encouraged to contribute to the endowment fund to build a legacy so that young people will continue to be educated with care, love and discipline.

The Red Bird Scholarship Fund
 |
The Red Bird Fund provides scholarships to qualified, enrolled students who participate in co-curricular activities during the school year, who without added financial assistance may not be able to attend Bishop Garcia Diego High School.
The fund was created to supplement financial assistance raised by Bishop Garcia Diego HS, Advancement Department and Alumni Association. While the Advancement Department raisies over $1 million for financial aid, the need is much higher. This fund will allow students with demonstrated financial need who participcate in co-curricular activities an opportunity for additional financial aid. The goal for the 2011 - 2012 school year is $50,000. |
The Rodney J. Shull Memorial Scholarship Fund
 |
Rodney J. Shull was a 1982 graduate of Bishop High School, a natural leader, a good listener and the type of person who lit up the room when he entered.
A gifted athlete, loyal friend and excellent student, Rodney went on to graduate from Stanford University in 1987. His adherence to high standards for himself whether on the field of an athletic event, or within the classroom defined him as an exemplary individual. His love of life was demonstrated in his love for children, all children, and his own in particular. A sudden illness took his life in 1998. He is a member of the Bishop Hall of Fame and has received the Bishop Lifetime Achievement Award. He is survived by his wife, Ashley, and three children.
The Rodney Shull Memorial Scholarship is a $3,000 award available to a BGDHS student who demonstrates good citizenship, college preparatory academic standards (minimum GPA of 3.0), athletic participation in two sports and financial need. |
