    About the Cristo Rey Network

    The Cristo Rey Network is the largest network of high schools in the country enrolling only students with limited economic resources. Comprised of 39 Catholic, college preparatory schools serving more than 12,300 students across 24 states, the Cristo Rey Network delivers a distinctive approach to inner-city education to equip students with the knowledge, character, and skills to transform their lives. From freshman year, Cristo Rey schools establish a culture of high expectations by blending rigorous academics, four years of professional work experience through the Corporate Work Study Program, Catholic educational values, and support for students to and through college. The impact is clear: Cristo Rey graduates enroll and graduate from college at twice the rate comparative to the rest of the low-income population.

    Position Summary

The Manager will work closely with College Counselors, Alumni Advisors, and University Partners to ensure an effective and seamless scholarship award process that leads to strong college completion outcomes for Cristo Rey students. The Manager will work in close coordination with the national office Advancement team to share updates and impact of the scholarships program with philanthropic investors. The ideal candidate will demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to providing college access to students of limited economic means and a keen understanding of the challenges Cristo Rey students and alumni face as they embark on their path to and through college.
