Each year, St. Joseph's PTO generously awards a $300 merit-based cash scholarship to a graduating high school student. This is a way to let St. Joseph's graduates know that, as a school and PTO, St. Joseph's continues to value them and supports their efforts at higher education.
The selection committee will review the applications and choose a recipient based on the following established criteria:
- The applicant must be a graduating high school student.
- The applicant must have graduated from the 6th grade at St. Joseph's Catholic School, after having attended St. Joseph's for a minimum of three years.
- The applicant must attend an accredited institution of higher education after high school graduation.
- The applicant must have maintained a minimum high school GPA of 2.0.
Funds will be paid directly the recipient's school of choice in August, after the student has shown proof of registration. Funds will be refunded to St. Joseph's PTO if the student withdraws in the first semester.
Scholarship applications should be mailed or dropped off at St. Joseph's School.
