The Work of Heart Award Program was created in partnership with The Catholic Foundation by a donor who sought to achieve a unique charitable purpose.
Anonymously established by a family dedicated to Catholic education, the Work of Heart Award Program draws upon the resources, expertise and creativity of The Catholic Foundation to use a designated fund to recognize full-time employees of Pre-K, elementary, middle and high schools in the Catholic Diocese of Dallas.
We are currently accepting nominations for the 2022-2023 school year.
All are welcome to complete an application using the Work of Heart fillable nomination form that is in both English and Spanish.

The Hal Tehan Scholar Award (formerly known as the Catholic Foundation Scholars Award) recognizes a local Catholic high school junior each year.
All local Catholic high schools may nominate a junior student who exemplifies Catholic values, actively particpates and contributes to the community and is generally in the top 5% of his or her class. The receipient receives a $5,000 scholarship for his or her senior year, while a $1,000 scholarship is awarded to each of the other nominees.
Hal Tehan was a man fully dedicated to his faith and community. Following his death, The Catholic Foundation Scholar Award was renamed The Hal Tehan Scholar Award in honor of the late Foundation leader, donor and friend.
