The Academy Fund
The Academy Fund, our annual fund, is the bedrock of CBA’s philanthropic support. Each year we invite the entire CBA family to partner with us as we seek to inspire and equip the world’s next generation by developing men of strong moral character. The funds raised directly support an engaging and rigorous curriculum, stellar faculty recruitment and development, robust academy and counseling support and a significant financial assistance program.

"Through contributions of generous benefactors, CBA has become a beacon of excellence, nurturing students with spiritual guidance, academic challenges, and athletic excellence. The support has not just built structures, it has fostered community, brotherhood and spirit. Beyond the tangible, donations will continue to form an environment where values and morals are lived daily, where academic pursuit is performed with the best foot forward and each challenge is met with integrity. I would not be thriving at the Citadel without the generosity of benefactors which opened the door for me to attend CBA."

"Financial aid and scholarships aren’t just about money—they’re about opportunity. They’ve opened doors I couldn’t reach on my own and have given me the chance to focus on learning, growing, and building a future."

"Without the assistance of generous benefactors, I would not have been able to attend Christian Brothers Academy. Growing up in Keyport, NJ, I never fathomed of attending CBA because of the financial burden that would have caused my family. Through the gentle nudge of my parents and the holy spirit I decided to apply. When I received the financial aid package that I did, I knew CBA would be able to open doors that otherwise would not have been opened. I graduated from CBA in 2019, then from George Washington University in 2023."
