R.M.R. Endowment Fund

Established 2001

Our Lady Of Good Counsel Church
Our Lady Of Good Counsel Church

This fund was created by an anonymous donor to provide financial assistance to students attending Our Lady of Good Counsel School in Aurora.

In 1910, two Adrian Dominican Sisters opened the school on the upper floor of Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, which was built in 1909.

In 1925, the School Sisters of St. Francis arrived to oversee the expanding school. Portable classrooms were added to accommodate the increasing number of students.

In the early 1960s, a new school was constructed to serve over 800 students. The school is located on Talma Street in Aurora.

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

Thank you very much for supporting my college education for these four years. I will never be able to repay you for the opportunity that this scholarship has given to me.
