Introducing the Frederick Douglass North Star Scholarship for Loyola High School Students.
In 1847, the former slave who became a great author, editor, orator, and abolitionist hero founded a newspaper, “The North Star.” From this bully pulpit, his clarion call for freedom resounded across the land and around the world. Appropriately, this scholarship is named in honor of Frederick Douglass and “The North Star.” Across each banner of each edition of “The North Star” were these words: “Right is of no sex, truth is of no color, God is the father of us all — and all are brethren.” The words of this great African American and the example of his life resonate deeply with us. We are grateful to the Murphy family for launching the Frederick Douglass North Star Scholarship for Loyola High School.

When You Fund a Frederick Douglass North Star Scholarship, You Endorse a Young Man’s Future…and His Faith.
Since its founding in 1993, Loyola has provided a Catholic education in the Jesuit tradition to young men of compassion and courage. This academically rigorous, whole person experience occurs in a warm and welcoming private campus setting. Here a gifted and dedicated faculty knows our students by name. With a 9-1 student/teacher ratio, our young men are part of a real brotherhood. Each day begins with students, faculty, counselors, and staff praying together. In addition, each year, for 11 consecutive years, our graduates have achieved 100% college acceptance. Most importantly, they leave here true Men for Others. Men for Detroit.

Today the cost of fulfilling our mission approaches $20,000 per student annually. However, no student pays more than $4,300. And since we open our doors and our hearts to all, many pay only what they can afford. This averages out to $1,200 per student. Your commitment to a $10,000 Frederick Douglass North Star Scholarship can help close that gap and make all the difference in a young man’s future. Please consider funding a Frederick Douglass North Star Scholarship at Loyola High School.

The Honor of Becoming a Frederick Douglass Scholar
Scholarship candidates are recommended by Loyola faculty
members in a student’s sophomore year. They must reflect the great man’s zeal in his lifelong fight for the abolition of slavery, his dedication to the betterment of all American citizens and his skill as an author and orator. The scholars will complete a special course of study in their junior year on the life of Frederick Douglass and the causes he supported. As seniors, each will research and write a speech to be delivered on February 14th, Frederick Douglass Day.
