Scholarships

The promise of an Incarnate Word High School education is a promise that transforms and empowers our young women for the future.

Keeping the promise of an IWHS education alive today means keeping an IWHS education within the financial reach of all families. With over 33% of IWHS' current students receiving some form of financial assistance, IWHS is committed to educating and empowering any young woman of faith, regardless of her family’s financial circumstances, who wishes to fulfill the school’s mission and to achieve her God-given potential as academically successful young women leaders for tomorrow.

Gifts to Sponsor a Shamrock, endowed scholarships, or general scholarships ensure a continuous source of funding for current and future students while sustaining IWHS' commitment to a legacy of educational excellence.

You can create your own endowed scholarship fund with a minimum investment of $25,000, or you may give to an already established scholarship fund. Scholarships can be established through contributions of cash, stock, real estate, charitable remainder trusts, or bequests (or through a combination of those gifts).

  • Judy Bel Endowed Memorial Scholarship
