Student Sponsorship Program

You can help change the life of a student by giving him the opportunity of a high-quality Catholic education.

Student Sponsors generously pledge to pay a major portion of the yearly costs of a student’s education. You can choose the level of support you would like to provide a student.

You may fulfill your sponsorship with a one-time payment or through installment payments. The terms of the sponsorship are created in conjunction with our development staff, consistent with your financial plans. 

If you are interested in sponsoring a student or have questions about the program, please call our development office at (202) 810-8200 or via development@sanmigueldc.org.

Give the Opportunity
of Success

San Miguel serves the needs of low-income middle school boys and prepares them for the challenges of college preparatory high schools. Our students enter sixth grade one or more grade levels behind in reading and math. By graduation, they are at or above grade level and equipped with the skills needed to succeed in high school. 

The Miguel model of education is characterized by small classes, an extended school day, rigorous academics, excellent teachers and a support system that continues through high school.


Join the San Miguel Family

Visit the San Miguel School and meet your student scholar. Throughout the year, your scholar will write to keep you up to date on how they are doing in school. We hold an appreciation event each Spring to give you an opportunity to meet with your student and learn more about his progress.
