Over the years, BLSEF has reached out to help pay tuition for Bethlehem students whose families are in need of financial assistance. Donations to BLSEF can be put in either of two accounts:
1. Fund A: Is the perpetual account. Only the interest income can be used from this source.
2. Fund B: Is our current account, which donated moneys plus any interest income can be spent on tuition aid.
ALL donations given to BLSEF go for financial aid or scholarship assistance.
