Marquette University High School receives $100M anonymous alumni gift for scholarships

Marquette University High School has received a $100 million philanthropic pledge from two anonymous alumni in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, designated for scholarships and financial aid to expand access to the school. The gift consists of two coordinated $50 million estate commitments and is intended to reduce financial barriers and broaden enrollment opportunities for students across the region, significantly expanding need-based aid for the school’s student body. The combined awards are described as the largest known donation to a single high school in Wisconsin and the largest to a Catholic high school in the United States.
