The Bright Futures Fund (BFF) is a merit-based financial assistance program that rewards student achievement and provides access to a high-quality, faith-based education at Bishop McCort Catholic High School.

Yes, the Bright Futures Fund has been structured to remain open for outside charitable giving by others who wish to support its mission.
The application process opens in conjunction with Catholic Schools Week 2026.
Financial assistance is available to new and existing students in grades seven through twelve.
A high-quality education is the foundation for lifelong success; family income should never stand in the way of a student’s opportunity to learn, grow, and fulfill their potential. Every capable and motivated student deserves access to education that empowers a brighter future.
To expand access to a Bishop McCort Catholic High School education by offering merit-based financial aid to high-performing and high-potential students—ensuring that opportunity is defined by ability and effort, not family income.
