The Stonehill College Fund creates readily available funds that provide our students with academic offerings, scholarships, faculty excellence, community service opportunities, co-curricular programs and top-notch campus facilities - all the areas of the College that make a Stonehill education exceptional.
Annual engagement and support of the extended Stonehill community—alumni, parents, and friends—have strengthened the College and fostered its greatest advancements.
The success of the Stonehill College Fund – and the strength of the College – will always depend on a collaborative spirit of giving. Each of us has our own Stonehill story, and there are many inspiring reasons to support Stonehill through the Stonehill College Fund.
Case for Support
Stonehill is committed to being a College of opportunity providing a rigorous academic experience that prepares the next generation of students to think critically and creatively about the challenges of our day.
The Stonehill College Fund turns individual gifts— of all sizes— into a collective difference for our students. When they come to Stonehill and entrust us with their potential, we want to be able to offer them every advantage. Financial aid and scholarships. Extraordinary opportunities for learning and discovery. The best possible faculty and facilities. Overall, we want them to know the transformational effects of being educated in the Holy Cross tradition. A Stonehill education will encourage our students to develop a lifelong desire for self-discovery and commitment to service that will lead to truly purposeful and rewarding lives.
Academics
Our academic approach challenges students to engage in rigorous courses of study: to apply their growing knowledge through research, writing, and oral presentations; and to put that knowledge to work and to service through internships, field work and community-based learning.
You guarantee a personalized educational experience for each of the 2,400 students enrolled at Stonehill College.

Mission and Service
Our students are constantly finding new and inventive ways to change the world through service. They’re in it for the experience, the people and because it’s the right thing to do. Each year, Stonehill students provide nearly 100,000 hours of community service through programs such as the Farm at Stonehill and H.O.P.E. Service Immersion Program, among others. Service experiences build leadership skills, broaden their understanding of diversity and develop a keener sense of justice.
You encourage service opportunities locally and around the world.

You Change the Life of a Student
You will better the life of a student, a family and an entire Stonehill community. You are investing in a Stonehill student, in the mission of Stonehill College and what we can accomplish together. Opportunities such as these have benefitted from the Stonehill College Fund over the past year and can change a student forever:
- First-Generation Scholar Program is a collaborative, interdivisional initiative that provides robust academic oversight, while also connecting students with other offices on campus. This program gets first-generation students better connected on campus.
- The SURE Program enhances learning opportunities for students while encouraging collaboration between students and faculty conducting scholarly research. The SURE Program enables selected students to participate in scholarly projects under the direct mentorship of faculty members.
- BACES Mentoring Program (Black, Indigenous and People of Color Achieving Connection & Empowerment at Stonehill) is an inter-generational mentorship program that connects first-year and transfers students (mentees) with returning students (mentors) and all students with alumni.
- International Programs challenge students to take authorship of their personal and intellectual growth within a global context through study abroad, internship, research, and service-learning possibilities. These experiential experiences facilitate intercultural dialogue and expand international awareness.
- The Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity, and Social Justice is a newly-established academic hub that will offer academic and co-curricular events and research opportunities that bridge academic experiences and student life. A series of public lectures, events, and performances will bring new energy to campus culture and create a sense of inclusion.
Donors that give back to Stonehill allow students who plan on coming to know that their futures are being invested by those who walked the same path. Giving back to Stonehill not only helps those coming up to college, but also shows a token of appreciation to what the school has offered and more.
