NEW ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP ESTABLISHED
A NEW ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP has been established in memory of Edward J. Fitzgerald, Jr. and Anita L. Fitzgerald by their son, Ward Fitzgerald. According to Ward, his parents were from Northeast Philadelphia and they had a great love for the Holy Family University community.
The scholarship will be awarded annually to provide financial support to a student who embraces, practices, and exhibits the values of the Catholic Church. Ward is Chief Executive Officer and Senior Managing Principal of EQT Exeter, an international real estate equity fund investment group, and real estate development and operating company.
Endowed funds are a meaningful way to create a permanent legacy at Holy Family University for you, your family, or a loved one. For more information, please contact Joshua Liss, Assistant Vice President for Development, at jliss@holyfamily.edu or 267-341-3100.
