In 2015, in keeping with the University of Notre Dame Athletic Department’s excellence pillar, the Camp Scholarship Initiative was established. These scholarships are awarded annually, to local elementary school students who demonstrate a positive attitude, success in the classroom and outstanding character.

To date, 27 elementary school students representing St. Adalbert Catholic School, St. Anthony De Padua Catholic School, Harrison Primary Center, Lincoln Primary Center and Perley Fine Arts Academy have received scholarships to the Notre Dame summer camp of their choosing.
