Thank you for visiting our site.  If you are a student of Mr. Aymar’s welcome to “Your Legacy”.
 
This is our first step to reconnect the people who were touched by the deep love and care of  Mr. Aymar -   a Master Teacher.  He  created a unique bond with each of his students, while inspiring them with humor and fun filled English lessons that created a  language that unites all of his students.
 
His intellectual curiosity, love of reading and humor are qualities that he shared generously  to create a legacy that is his lifelong  gift to his students.

The Michael Aymar Foundation - a 501(c) (3) non profit organization- is the vehicle for all of us to become a  community;  to honor  Mr. Aymar’s spirit,  share his passion for learning with other students and help those families facing hardship due to health, death or a job loss  provide their children with the best education offered in Catholic Schools.   

Since our launch in 2016, we have awarded a total of $ 114,300  in NASHDO Scholarships to 24 Ambassadors at: Lacordaire Academy, Montclair, Our Lady of the Lake - Verona, Aquinas Academy - Livingston, St. Thomas the Apostle - Bloomfield, St. Joseph School - East Orange and 
 St Benedict's Preparatory School - Newark

As of July 2025 we have entered into an exclusive Scholarship partnership with St. Benedict's Preparatory in Newark.   During 2025  a $ 15,000 grant was awarded to the school so they can identify the middle school students that meet the criteria of hardship due to health, death or a job loss.    Including this grant, our total NASHDO Scholarship awards as of 2025 is $ 129,300.
