New Partnership for Xaverian Brothers High School and Emmanuel College
Partnership will guarantee merit scholarships for students who meet eligibility requirements
Boston, MA (07/15/2025) — Emmanuel College and Xaverian Brothers High School in Westwood, MA., have announced a partnership that will guarantee admission and merit scholarships for Xaverian students who meet eligibility requirements. This partnership aims to promote the continued growth of catholic education and additional opportunities for Xaverian students to study in the Heart of Boston.
The Saints Catholic Connection Guarantee is available to Xaverian Brothers students who have earned a weighted GPA of 3.5 or higher through their junior year, apply to Emmanuel and visit campus.
"Emmanuel and Xaverian, as Catholic institutions, are dedicated to uplifting the intellects and hearts of young people, while preparing them to thrive in a fast-changing world," said Emmanuel College President Beth Ross. "The Saints Catholic Connection Guarantee is emblematic of our common commitment-and brings current and future Xaverian students within closer reach of the career- and life-shaping power of an Emmanuel education."
The program, which will launch with students entering for the fall of 2026, will provide prospective students greater visibility into the advantages Emmanuel has to offer.
"When families visit Emmanuel, they experience our caring faculty, discover our prime location in the heart of Boston, and learn about the valuable internship and job opportunities nearby," said Emmanuel Associate Vice President of Industry Partnerships and Program Development, Stephen Creamer. "The Saints Catholic Connection Guarantee offers a clear and transparent financial pathway for prospective students, making an Emmanuel education more accessible and achievable."
While the program initially will be offered to Xavierian students, the intent is to continue to develop the partnership program to include additional Catholic high schools, Creamer added.
"Xaverian Brothers High School is thrilled to enter into this new partnership with Emmanuel College," said Xaverian Brothers Head of School Dr. Jacob Conca. "This collaboration strengthens our shared commitment to Catholic education while preparing our students for lives dedicated to academic excellence, leadership, and service."
