Xavier University of Louisiana raises $100 million for 2025 centennial campaign​

29 Mar 2024

Xavier University of Louisiana, the nation’s Catholic HBCU, says it has reached a $100 million milestone in its centennial campaign, part of a half-billion dollar goal to be reached within the next several years.

The school announced the news on March 6, during celebrations for the feast of their founder, St. Katharine Drexel, which took place earlier in the week.

The campaign, first announced in 2022, will fund student scholarships, campus improvements, student support services, and academic development, including faculty recruitment and additional academic programs at the historic New Orleans institution.

“This important fundraising milestone is a testament to Xavier’s value as an institution that produces some of our nation’s most thoughtful leaders—leaders with the ability and intellect to take on our greatest challenges,” said XULA president Dr. Reynold Verret.

“Our generous supporters know that an investment in Xavier is not only an investment in our current students, but it’s an investment in social justice and the communities and the nation they serve.”

The school says centennial campaign funds have already helped to inaugurate nearly 50 new endowed scholarships, 48 annual scholarships, two new endowed professorships and chairs, and 38 current use and endowed programs.

Upcoming goals for the campaign include increasing XULA’s endowment to $300 million—up from $178 million in 2023—and doubling the number of Black XULA graduates entering med school. (The school reported more than 1200 biology and chemistry majors in the 2022-23 academic year.) Also on the docket is restoring the campus’ historic Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament Convent, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

With plans to exceed $200 million in centennial campaign donations by the end of 2025, the university is actively recruiting contributors. Interested parties can find more information and ways to give on the campaign webpage.
