Parish Scholarships

Each year, our parish and St. Joseph Parish organizations award scholarships to high school seniors who plan to enter college in the fall.

To qualify, a student must be:
  1. A high school senior accepted to college in the fall.
  2. A St. Joseph parishioner (except in the case of children of St. Joseph Council Knights of Columbus members who are parishioners elsewhere).
  3. A Practicing Catholic - i.e., the student must attend mass and the sacraments regularly.

Additional consideration will be given students based upon:
  • Academic achievement;
  • Active in parish organizations or ministries;
  • Active in community volunteer groups;
  • Active in extracurricular school activities;
  • Financial need.
