Mercyhurst Preparatory School

100 Years. 100 Donors. One Mission. 

Every day at Mercyhurst Preparatory School, we witness the determination, talent, and resilience of our 

students. We also see the challenges some of them quietly carry.

For some students, it may be a lack of reliable transportation to school. For others, it may mean needing 

a new pair of shoes, a uniform, or help putting food on the table. These are real challenges faced by 

members of our MPS family.

That is why the MPS Angel Fund exists.

The Angel Fund provides immediate, compassionate support for students and families facing unexpected 

financial hardships. Through this fund, we can respond to needs that often fall outside traditional tuition 

assistance, including food insecurity, transportation challenges, school uniforms, shoes, and other 

essential expenses.

Last year alone, more than 90 students utilized our campus food pantry. The impact of the Angel Fund 

extends far beyond financial assistance, it provides dignity, stability, and opportunity. Most importantly,  

it allows students to focus on their education, personal growth, and involvement in the academic,  

artistic, and athletic experiences that make an MPS education transformative.

As we celebrate 100 years of Mercyhurst Preparatory School, we have set a special Centennial  

Erie Gives goal of 100 donors supporting the Angel Fund. Every gift, regardless of size, helps  

remove barriers for students and strengthens our mission of mercy. We invite you to help  

us reach 100 donors for 100 years of MPS
