Thank You For Uplifting Students Like Us
Dear St. Ed's Donors,
I'm Stephany, a freshman Psychology major, and I really want to thank you for making a gift to St. Ed's! Without donors like you, I wouldn't have been able to attend such a prestigious school and achieve all the goals I have. Your generosity gave me the opportunity to obtain a higher education — and gave my parents the opportunity of graduating college through me. Thank you again for everything you do!
Best wishes,
Stephany Merchàn '26
Dear Hilltopper Athletics Donor,
Playing Baseball was the reason I came to St. Edward's, and I'm so happy I got the opportunity. I feel like I'm part of something much bigger than a college Baseball team. I've made some of the best memories of my life and have accomplished things I will never forget. I want to thank you and all of the generous Athletics donors who support our programs and student-athletes. We are all thankful for your help with our collegiate endeavors.
Toppers Up!

Gifts of Time, Talent and Treasure
Scholarships and Student Aid
When you give to St. Edward's, you give the gift of educational access and equity — especially to the 33% of Hilltoppers who qualify for federal Pell grants, an indicator of the highest financial need. This year, 1,193 donors directed their gifts toward student scholarships and grants.
Your generosity ensures that talented students from all backgrounds can pursue life-changing opportunities on the hilltop regardless of their financial circumstances. Thank you!
Hilltopper Athletics
For the second year in a row, Topper Nation officially stomped St. Mary's in the Battle of the Saints Giving Challenge!

The Battle of the Saints Giving Challenge tradition is here to stay, so keep those Toppers Up — we'll need you on our team again for 2024!
