Loretto Academy, located in El Paso, Texas, is a private school offering a comprehensive educational experience to students. One of their standout programs is the Challenge Program, established in partnership with The Challenge Foundation. This unique initiative aims to empower students from underserved communities, providing them with equitable access to education and experiential learning opportunities.

The Challenge Program takes a holistic approach, granting tuition scholarships and personalized support services to selected students. Through a thorough and competitive admission process, four gifted yet underserved 4th-grade students are chosen each year to receive a full scholarship from 6th grade through high school. The program sets short-term goals of high school graduation, college application, and securing financial aid.

In the long term, the Challenge Program nurtures a sense of belonging and fosters continuous learning and growth. At Loretto Academy, parental commitment and support are crucial to the success of both the student and the program. With your support, through donations and partnerships, Loretto Academy can continue its mission of educating young leaders, enhancing inclusivity, offering tuition assistance, and providing a high-quality learning environment.
