Every summit starts with someone willing to climb.
Sierra Summit Scholarship Fund helps Northern Nevada families afford a Catholic education for their children — with priority given to students at Catholic classical schools in grades 6–12, and then to students at other Catholic schools throughout our region.
Opening the door to Catholic education.
We believe a family's financial circumstances shouldn't determine whether their children can receive a Catholic education. As a Section 25F scholarship granting organization, Sierra Summit connects generous donors with Northern Nevada students and families who need support with tuition.
We give priority first to students attending Catholic classical schools in grades 6–12, and then to students at other Catholic schools in our region — and every year, returning recipients and their siblings come first.

Help a student reach their summit — and earn a federal tax credit.
As a 501(c)(3) Section 25F organization, contributions to Sierra Summit may qualify you for a federal tax credit, not just a deduction. Every dollar we receive goes toward funding a Northern Nevada student's Catholic education.
