The Robert M. Morand Scholarship Fund concentrates its giving on tuition scholarships for Catholic/Jesuit secondary schools, repeatedly supporting a small set of private high schools. Grants are targeted toward helping individual students access college‑prep Catholic education rather than broad institutional operating support. The foundation appears locally focused (southeast Michigan) and prioritizes sustained scholarship relationships with a few trusted schools.
Concentrated and repeat giving: a small number of mid-sized scholarship grants (three equal grants to each of the same schools), focused on a few long‑standing grantees rather than many new organizations.
The Robert M Morand Scholarship Fund centers its giving on tuition scholarships for three Detroit private high schools, with each recent grant set at $17,000. Across 2023 to 2025, the fund repeatedly backed U of D Jesuit High School, Cristo Rey High School, and Loyola High School, all in Detroit, through scholarship awards rather than broad operating support. That pattern points to a restricted-purpose scholarship fund focused on helping students access Catholic and Jesuit college-preparatory education. The grant record shows a compact set of recipients and a steady relationship with those schools over multiple years. U of D Jesuit High School received scholarship grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Cristo Rey High School and Loyola High School also each received scholarship support in more than one year. The fund’s annual giving of $153,000 and total assets of $934,768 place it in a small, locally directed scholarship profile rather than a diversified grantmaking portfolio. Every listed grant went to a U.S. recipient, and the recipient locations are all in Detroit, underscoring a narrow geographic and programmatic focus.
Scholarship support is the defining thread in the fund’s grant record. The Robert M Morand Scholarship Fund gave $17,000 to U of D Jesuit High School in 2025 for scholarships, continuing a three-year pattern of support to that school. At Cristo Rey High School, the fund also directed $17,000 in both 2023 and 2025 for scholarships, showing repeated tuition assistance rather than one-time project funding. Loyola High School received the same $17,000 scholarship grant in 2024 and 2025. These awards align with college-prep access at Catholic and Jesuit secondary schools and are aimed at students rather than institutions broadly. The recent grants do not show support for other program areas outside scholarship funding.
The fund’s typical grant size is fixed at $17,000 at the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile, indicating a highly standardized award pattern. Recent grants also show repeat giving: the same Detroit schools appear across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which suggests an ongoing scholarship relationship rather than isolated awards. The structure is that of a scholarship fund making restricted-purpose grants, not program-related investments, and it does not fund individuals directly. No application process is shown in the available grant record.
