Named Scholarships and Special Funds These funds reflect a variety of purposes supporting student scholarships, programs, and faculty professional development. Each year a defined portion of the fund is awarded while the principal investment is held “in perpetuity” so that the vision of the donors will continue to make a difference at Xaverian Brothers High School. For more information about scholarships and special funds, please contact Larry Furey, Assistant Headmaster for Advancement, at 781-801-1620 or lfurey@xbhs.com.
