The University of St. Joseph is now accepting applications for a $100,000 Catholic Promise scholarship.
In order to qualify for the scholarship students must have attended for four years and graduated from a regionally accredited Catholic high school, complete high school with at least a 3.0 grade point average and enroll as a full-time residential student for the fall, 2020 semester, according to the school.
“Since our founding in 1932, our mission has been to help deserving students access the best college education and experience possible to meet their goals, and to graduate students who are ready to serve society,” USJ President Rhona Free said in a statement.
Scholarship funds will be dispensed to recipients in increments of $25,000, which can be renewed annually for a maximum of four years, the school said. Tuition for full-time undergraduate students is just under $38,500 per year.
In order to renew the scholarship, students must maintain full-time enrollment, live on campus and keep up academic standards, which vary depending on their majors. USJ typically enrolls 300 first-year students each year, a spokeswoman said.
