ABOUT THE ALUMNAE TEA FOR TUITION

The Alumnae Association gathers for a springtime tea to ensure bright futures for Mercy girls by raising money for tuition assistance. Each year, the Alumnae Association awards approximately $40,000 in funds to support students in need of financial assistance. It is our mission to pay a Mercy education forward and continue to educate Women Who Make a Difference.

"No work of charity can be more productive of good to society than the careful instruction of women." The Venerable Catherine McAuley, Founder of the Sisters of Mercy
