Saint Benedict Education Foundation

The Saint Benedict Education Foundation raises funds focusing on scholarship money for students who attend the international Benedictine University, Sant’ Anselmo in Rome. The foundation, based in Conception, Missouri, has held events throughout the United States in support of its goal, and has supporters from Tampa, Florida to Lisle, Illinois to San Francisco.

Funds are directed to students from Benedictine communities that are unable to support the cost of educating their members. From Tanzania to Argentina, together, we are making a difference.
