The Bishop Kelly Foundation strongly supports the goal of diversity in the Bishop Kelly student body, and the ideal of making a Catholic high school education available to all students, regardless of ability to pay. To that end, the Foundation manages funds for the following scholarships and endowments. 

The recipients are chosen based on financial need, and application is made through the school's normal financial aid process (applicants do not need to apply for any specific scholarship in this process).
