Conrad N. Hilton Foundation Invests $1.1 Million in LA Catholic Schools
The Department of Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles was awarded $1.1 million from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation to fund various education programs, the diocese announced Monday.
The four-year grant will run from October 2025 through August 2029. According to the diocese, the funds will assist in various areas, including expanding principal and teacher “capacity-building” and broadening tuition support for vulnerable students via the Hilton Scholars program.
“The Hilton Foundation has been a loyal benefactor to thousands of our Catholic school students, and this year is no exception,” Paul M. Escala, senior director and superintendent of schools, said in a statement. “Through its generosity, we will continue to advance our innovative school networks, including our well-established Dual Language Immersion and STEM networks, plus our newer Microschool and Early Colleges networks which provide specialized systems for student success.
