Scholarship Eligibility for New Applicants

New applicants are awarded scholarships based on academic achievement, financial need, parental commitment, community service, and motivation to attend a Catholic high school, as indicated by a personal essay in the application.

Eligible students must:

• Demonstrate financial need;
• Have a good academic achievement record;
• Provide good references;
• Have a good citizenship record;
• Have a good attendance record;
• Meet the academic entrance requirements of the secondary school they plan to attend;
• Demonstrate extracurricular interests;

Scholarship Renewals

Students must reapply for their scholarships each year.  Scholarships are renewed based on financial need, academic achievement, and good citizenship.  Students must keep a minimum grade point average of 2.5 to maintain their scholarship.  In addition, parents are expected to support school activities and attend all parent/teacher conferences, as well as BSCSF Mentoring meetings.

Students currently receiving scholarships will be given priority in the awarding of scholarships, provided that they continue to meet the policies of the Fund.
