Archdiocesan Scholarship

ListedCollege programUp to full tuition
Award
Full tuition for up to four years or eight semesters of full-time undergraduate study, ending at the first degree.
Deadline
Nomination notices mid-December; no scholarship application cutoff published
How to apply
No separate application. Timely admission applicants are reviewed; selected candidates receive a nomination notice and submit a 250-word interest statement before admission staff and faculty interviews.
What you'll need
  • No separate application: you are considered when you apply for admission
  • An interview
Who can apply
Top high-school class standing, an A average in a demanding curriculum, and significant extracurricular leadership/involvement. Current Archdiocesan religious eligibility remains unclear because an older university policy distinguishes a Trustee award whose recipients need not be Roman Catholic.
Good to know
The current financial aid page specifies a 250-word interest statement and two interview stages for nominated candidates, plus 3.20 cumulative GPA and satisfactory academic progress for renewal. The older university policy distinguishes Trustee recipients as not needing to be Roman Catholic, but current Archdiocesan religious eligibility is not explicit. No 2027 admission cutoff is published on the scholarship page.
