Pass on your experience and inspiration



A St. Kate's education inspires purpose — especially in difficult times. You can help shine a light on St. Catherine University's academic excellence and leadership development.

Each year the Annual Fund supports students and faculty — by providing scholarships and financial aid, underwriting faculty research and professional development, and delivering the academic excellence and values-based education that our students deserve.

Chi Huynh ’11
Finance Major - Day
Contributions to the Annual Fund provide scholarships for students like
Chi who benefit from St. Kate’s liberal arts community and campus facilities. “Coeur de Catherine is my ‘home away from home,’ where I can grab a cup of Fair-Trade coffee with friends, meet with my study groups or get connected to the world through the Internet, talks and stand-up comedy.”
Mary Ann Matsumoto ’04 and ’11
Nursing Major - Weekend
St. Kate’s dedication to lifelong learning inspires students like Mary Ann to keep growing. “I first earned a B.S. in education from St. Kate’s in 2004. Then I realized I could help fill a critical need for nurse educators, so I’m adding a nursing degree. St. Kate’s has taught me that if I am not hindered by my own limitations, my world is endless.”
Amanda Wagner ’13
Associate of Arts
St. Kate’s faculty recently were cited in U.S. News & World Report for their strong commitment to teaching. That helps students like Amanda who value a genuine connection with professors. “The faculty are always helping me reach the next step in my education. They are concerned about my whole being. Failure is not an option for them — or for me.”
Elisa Pape ’11
Master of Arts in Library and Information Science
Annual Fund donations support technology that helps working students like Elisa stay connected to St. Kate’s. “The availability of faculty via Blackboard [St. Kate’s online classroom] and the one-on-one support of my professors has helped me excel in a new subject area and develop competence in my chosen profession.”
