2007-08 Annual Fund"Invest in the Marmion Difference"Today's campus is changing - what does this mean? Marmion has 520 students enrolled, the largest enrollment since the 1970s. To accommodate this growing student body Marmion is spending $4.5 million on infrastructure and playing fields, doubling the parking capacity from 350 spaces to 700 spaces and building safer campus roads. Marmion is building new football and practice soccer fields, a new Joe Nardone varsity baseball field, fresh/soph baseball field, and relocating the tennis courts (from six to eight). What does this expanded and upgraded infrastructure have to do with the Annual Fund? While Marmion is spending capital on new infrastructure, the ongoing annual operating expenses of Marmion continue. Parents are currently providing $8,300 in tuition per year. But this still covers only 84% of the cost of educating a student. Endowment covers another 6% of expenses. The balance needs to be raised from parents, friends and alumni, like us who believe in Marmion and are willing to "Invest in the Marmion Difference". Marmion is blessed this school year with 520 talented and diverse students. Thirty percent of the students are receiving financial assistance through academic scholarships or financial assistance. Endowment resources and generous Alumni Association grants finance 60% of this assistance. The remainder is an Annual Fund priority. Consider a gift and "Invest in the Marmion Difference". Who contributes to the Annual Fund? If you are an alumnus, parent, past parent, grandparent or a special friend please consider a generous gift to the Annual Fund that directly benefits the students. Your gift will insure that each student now at Marmion will receive a strong foundation of faith and learning for the future. Marmion continues to provide a quality Benedictine college preparation level education because of donors like you who care.
