Scholarship Qualifications

Scholarships for tuition assistance are to be approved and administered by the Foundation for students who are enrolled or will be enrolled at any Catholic/Christian high school. The Foundation encourages students to maintain the standards set out below, which will be under the purview of the Foundation and school officials designated by the Foundation to assist in the identification of deserving students.

Among the qualifications are the following:

• A scholarship applicant must be studious and maintain a relationship with the Lord that is expressed by service to others—fellow students, the poor, the elderly, and other persons most in need.

• A scholarship applicant must maintain a B average or higher—obviously, the higher, the better.

• A scholarship applicant must demonstrate financial need.

• A scholarship applicant must demonstrate their commitment to education by submitting an essay detailing that commitment.

• A scholarship applicant from the United States must provide their or their parents’ W2 tax statements or proof of wages, salaries, or commissions.

These qualifications or requirements are intended to enable the Foundation to:

• Scrutinize the academic performance of each scholarship applicant.

• Evaluate or determine the amount of financial support offered.

• Use information gathered in the process to initiate and develop collaboration with communities, individuals, organizations, or businesses who might be encouraged to participate in the program.

• Encourage higher education for scholarship applicants, especially in the profession.

• Promote in the student a zeal for achieving goals and developing an awareness of their place as members of a global society and stewards of the earth’s environment and resources, perhaps by sponsoring monthly sessions where inspirational speakers may make presentations on these and other topics designed to stimulate in the students these high ideals.

• Provide financial assistance to those families whose resources are so meager as to prevent attendance at a Catholic/Christian high school, with continued support being dependent on each particular student’s maintenance of above-average grades.

• Build and foster partnerships with the community, businesses, and families who share a common goal in the student’s education.

• Help students reach their potential, which will positively impact the future of the community and the world at large.
