Did you know you each student can receive multiple Guaranteed Scholarships?

Families can qualify for several of the Guaranteed Scholarships each year. In some cases, one student can receive up to five of these scholarships, which would amount to $6,500 in tuition assistance annually and $26,000 over four years.

Please note that each student can only receive one of the First Responder, Four Star, or the Veteran Scholarships even if they qualify for more than one. On the other hand, it's possible for a student to receive the Catholic School Graduate, Legacy, Catholic School Educator, and the Brother Scholarships all at the same time.
