Catholic High School Scholarship Competition
Saint Xavier University is proud to announce the establishment of a Catholic High School Scholarship Competition. Now in its third year, this competition seeks to reward Catholic high school seniors who can articulate in a written essay, the implications of a Catholic university education on their college experience.
We invite all current seniors attending Catholic high schools to compete for a select number of scholarships, ranging in amounts up to $3,000. Any Catholic High School Scholarships will be added to any merit-based scholarship already awarded at the time of admission. (Scholarship amounts cannot exceed total cost of attendance. Catholic High School Scholarships cannot be awarded to students receiving athletic scholarships.)
